According to Promethean, with the new service, "Educators equipped with Activclassroom technology will now be able to gain valuable accreditation at their own pace and improve their skills, knowledge, and understanding of best practices."
Promethean Learning includes three training levels:
- Foundation Skills and Advanced Skills Certificate;
