Swine flu: supplier offers free online training

E-learning specialist SkillSoft is offering free access to online courses related to swine flue which, it says, will help L&D managers create programmes for managers who may have to draft emergency plans.

The Pandemic Flu Awareness course describes the key differences between pandemic flu – including H1N1 and bird flu – and regular seasonal flu; it features key facts associated with pandemic flu; the pharamceutical and non-pharamceutical interventions that can prevent or slow the spread of pandemic flu; and tips for creating a pandemic plan.

Norm Ford, SkillSoft’s director of compliance solutions, said; “HR around the globe is on the front line of emergency planning for companies. Highly public events like the outbreak of the H1N1 virus are a reminder of the importance of training and prepredeness. We felt that offering these courses at no cost for a limited period would enable emergency planning managers to be more responsive.”
