The Launch of EDU, the first comprehensive dementia E-learning platform in Hong Kong
On June 24, 2023, in honor of the 23rd anniversary of JCCPA, we proudly launched EDU, Hong Kong’s first comprehensive e-learning platform dedicated to dementia.
With thanks to technological development, online learning has become a popular trend. In order to build a dementia-friendly community, JCCPA strive to keep pace with the times by providing more training opportunities without time and geographical constraints. Whether you are professional workers, caregivers, corporates, or who are interested in dementia, you are welcome to participate in different courses via this platform. By detailed explanations and real-life examples, you may understand more about dementia.
Starting from fourth quarter of 2023, more courses will be releasing in this platform. To give users a chance to explore our offerings, we will be offering a free trial for the first three months, during which users will have access to a range of videos. We will be announcing our pricing scheme at a later date so that everyone has a chance to experience the platform before making a commitment
