The National Demolition Association (NDA), Doylestown, Pa., has launched an online training system offering more than 2,000 eLearning courses designed to meet the needs of the construction industry. NDA’s Online Training, powered by Portico Learning Solutions, is available to NDA members and to the industry at large.
“As the leading authoritative voice of the demolition industry, we decided to take the initiative by making these essential courses available to professionals involved in the demolition process in areas such as environmental, health and safety, transportation and IT skills,” says Michael Taylor, CAE, executive director of the NDA. “We identified Portico as the premier source of custom eLearning course development and decided to partner with them on this ambitious undertaking,” he adds.
Once a course is purchased, users can return and review it as many times as they wish during a 12-month period. As users complete each course module, testing takes places, and a grade is instantly issued. When all requirements are fulfilled, the system issues a unique certificate of completion to the user.
The NDA’s Online Training portal is found within the NDA Learning Center that has links to the NDA Safety Talks series, the Demolition Safety Manual and the Lead-in-Construction employee training program. More information is at www.demolitionassociation.com.
