Panasonic Heating and Cooling systems pushes education for professionals

Panasonic Heating and Cooling Systems Europe has opened the Panasonic Proacademy, a network of education centers including a web site where contractors, installers and specifiers of the company’s heating & cooling systems can learn about the new products as well as design, installation and commissioning skills.

The first physical center has been opened in the UK. Marc Diaz, Country Manager said,

We are proud to offer this vital support service for our distributors, their customers as well as consultants and end-users too.  There is no substitute for practical experience and our ProAcademy is designed to bridge the gap between text-book theory and hands-on learning.  Our training team offers a full schedule of up-to-date courses providing consistent, high quality training covering a wide variety of abilities and products.  And with the development of our online offering too, we now provide the industry with the full range of learning routes.

Other training centers will be opened soon in other European countries.

The virtual training center is ready to be open in Internet, as a part of Panasonic Proclub. This is a virtual professional club that will be the communication and interaction center for installers in Europe. This web site is available in more than 20 different languages for more than 30 countries.

The project is still in progress and will include more content in the future. Adhoc Learning is in charge of the design and implementation of the virtual learning center and content, including the enrollment system for the “face-to-face” learning centers.
