Star pupil sought in online CPD quiz

UK: Star Refrigeration has launched an online weekly quiz designed to encourage engineers to keep their skills and knowledge up-to-date during lockdown.

The Star Pupil Quiz will offer individuals the chance to win a prize, by watching a short video on the Star website and providing the correct answers to a set of related questions.

The Quiz is based on a series of CPD-certified online video presentations, featuring industry experts speaking at events, seminars and conferences. 

“Many professionals connected to our industry are currently adapting to a new home-based working environment, due to the COVID-19 lockdown,” explained Star Refrigeration’s group sales and marketing director Rob Lamb. “We hope that our Star Pupil Quiz will encourage them to consider engaging in some proactive online learning to enhance their skill set.”

“There is also the chance for one player to win a prize each week and be crowned our Star Pupil,” he added.

The weekly Star Pupil Quiz will use social media channels to invite players to view one of Star’s CPD certified online video presentations and answer three content related questions. Players will take part via email and all correct entries submitted will be entered into a draw. The winner each week will be selected at random and crowned Star Pupil, receiving an online shopping voucher for their efforts.

Star’s CPD certified video presentations are aimed at end users, consultants, construction companies, architects and engineers working in industries associated with industrial refrigeration and HVAC. The online videos cover topics such as minimising energy costs, improving efficiency, plant installation, maintenance and aftercare. Each video has been independently scrutinised to ensure the quality and value of the content meets the required CPD standard.
