What are the benefits of EXCELerate for RSPA members?

Benefits of EXCELerate are:

  1. Personalization – there will be content relevant to the different types of roles within our member businesses. RSPA Academy eLearning supports a variety of topics, courses, and learning paths which allows members to choose what’s most relevant.
  2. Reduced cost – Members and their teams have access to world-class education at a fraction of the cost they might incur paying for classrooms, instructors and content, associated costs of travel and lost time at work – and it is all at their fingertips.
  3. Anytime/anywhere/from any device – The retail technology industry is most certainly not a 9-to-5, office desk industry. The ability to access education anytime, anywhere from any device makes it convenient for members regardless of schedule.
  4. More networking opportunities – the RSPA Academy eLearning leverages social and collaborative learning, offering a new and year-round avenue for members to interact and connect with one another.
