VirtualSpeech becomes the world-first CPD-accredited training provider of VR online courses

VirtualSpeech is pleased to announce that it has become the first training provider to offer CPD-accredited virtual reality (VR) online courses. Over the last few weeks, the company has launched fifteen CPD-accredited courses which focus on soft skills like public speaking, business ethics, managing workplace stress, storytelling, sales pitching, video presentations, active listening, and more.

With 350,000 learners worldwide and client organisations including Vodafone, Accenture, Deutsche Telekom, and Warwick Business School, VirtualSpeech offer unique online courses that can improve a range of interpersonal and people skills that are crucial to success.

Looking to the future, VirtualSpeech plans to upgrade all 25+ VR courses to accredited status. By continually innovating their VR online courses and seeking CPD accreditation, the training provider aims to maintain its market-leading position whilst offering learners the reassurance they are receiving the highest level of quality with their training.

CEO, Sophie Thompson, commented, "The CPD accreditation is a testimony to the high quality of VirtualSpeech courses and the effectiveness of VR training for workplace learning. VR training is the next evolution in learning and it’s a really strong signal that highly respected, independent bodies are recognising the value of immersive learning."

About CPD accreditation

The CPD certification service is used by thousands of organisations to support employees with their continuing professional development.
