FHH Academy ramps up online learning resources

Remote learning is nothing new for FHH Academy which already makes extensive use of digital resources, starting with its Watch Essentials app, an introduction to watchmaking for the general public, and Watch Live, a multibrand collaborative platform that supports sales associates in their day-to-day contact with customers As FHH Academy explains in its latest newsletter, "Our teams bring you a wide range of online training resources and digital tools so that you can continue to add to your knowledge of watches and watchmaking during this period of social distancing." One consists of 20 two-hour modules that look at the specificities of the watch industry Themes include vintage watches, the history of time measurement, how a mechanical watch works, and the specificities of dive watches, chronographs or pilot's watches.

Whereas the modules are aimed at people who want to work in the watch industry, talks are geared towards a wider audience and will appeal to anyone with an interest in how we measure time Learning is one thing, but how can someone be sure they've taken information onboard? As well as providing content, FHH Academy has developed an internationally recognised certificate In addition to learning benefits, FHH Certification can fast-track a career in the watch industry, says the academy, which describes its main goal as "To offer the most valuable certification for professionals and prove their skills on the market.

Watchmaking industry players now have an official tool to train their teams to meet the highest standard." The certificate tests knowledge in four areas - techniques, market players, materials & finishes, culture & history - and covers three levels of expertise in three exams, which candidates can take online. .
