We spoke to two CIHT Members about how they have used CIHT Learn to progress their careers through its content available anywhere, anytime, via android phone, tablet, laptop or on your computer.
Amanda Millard, Professional Lead - Highway Adoptions, City of Wolverhampton Council, is an avid user of CIHT Learn and has completed multiple courses on various topics. We asked Amanda to describe a CIHT Learn course that she found very useful to her career development. Amanda described the Transport Decarbonisation – Introduction course.
Amanda said:
The CIHT Learn course offers a foundation level of knowledge of climate change, its impacts and more importantly what can be done to reduce and eliminate Carbon Dioxide emissions associated with the planning, design, decommissioning, construction, operations & maintenance of roads and our transport system.
The course content was very interesting and useful to my role in Highway Adoptions, which involves overseeing the construction of new roads which often requires existing roads to be decommissioned to facilitate the new road.
I will use my new knowledge from the CIHT Learn course to further encourage the use of recycled materials in construction sites. The use of low carbon materials is something we all need to specify for development sites to achieve low carbon materials in construction. I would recommend CIHT Learn as a useful way to learn.
During the 2024 annual CPD review, Andrew Jones, MCIHT, SoRSA and Principal Engineer at Redstart in Cardiff, had a very positive experience using the CIHT Learn functions to create a Development Action Plan (DAP) and SWOT Analysis to further his career development.
Andrew said:
I have been a Road Safety Auditor with the Society of Road Safety Auditors (SoRSA) for many years, and I believe that CIHT Learn is worth its weight in gold.
It provides me a means to tailor my online learning experiences while undertaking insightful courses to maintain my MSoRSA accreditation.
I also found the DAP and SWOT functions invaluable and very easy to use; they made me honestly assess my strengths and weaknesses, allowing me to take stock and then plan a positive way forward to reach my learning and development goals and advance my career.
It’s great to see CIHT providing CPD to support their members – long may it continue.
We asked Sally Devine – CIHT Learn Consultant about the benefits of CIHT Learn and what she feels is the best approach to learning in the digital world.
Sally said:
Using cleverly created bitesize learning with a mix of animation, gamification, video, and interactivity, CIHT Learn teaches and tests you as you progress through each module and course; this method of learning embeds and enhances the user’s knowledge and understanding of the course material.
At CIHT Learn, we believe in the blended learning approach and that not all learning needs to be undertaken in the classroom environment; we aim to deliver knowledge and understanding in cost effective and easily digestible format that compliments and supports your development needs as part of a wider training programme.
