“We use PD Place for all Professional Development training. If we offer training at any level, the registration takes place online. PD Place has reduced paper work by 80% and has saved us several thousands of dollars. Consultants have also reduced their work load because all of the information is accessible online and phone calls requesting information are greatly reduced.”

Rodger Dixie, IT Manager (retired)
Limestone District School Board

"PD Place is an excellent product! We are very pleased with it. The benefits are quite substantial. It saves time, it saves money, it is easy to use and it significantly improves the quality of services available to all members of our staff. From the point of view of the Information Technology Department and the Learning Support Services Department, I can assure you that we appreciate the fact that it does not add to our workload. CoreSolutions staff guided us in a step-by-step implementation process. Once this was complete, further involvement was minimal. This represents quite a benefit for a busy technology team.”

Patricia Cruickshank, Manager of Information Resources
Windsor-Essex Catholic District School Board

“Organizations that are not using this professional development management software are missing the boat. Highly talented members of staff are freed from the drudgery of detail, and the frustration that often accompanies the logistical planning of training, and staff development. Clerical staff are no longer inundated with telephone calls or email messages.

PD Place is a sure bet if you are interested in achieving a more efficient and stress-free work environment. It is a product you need to install in your organization if you are interested in empowering your staff to take responsibility for their personal and professional growth.

You can de-stress staff, empower them, and save thousands of dollars at the same time. As one of the first users of PD Place I have had that experience.”

Patrick J. Dunne, Director of Education (retired)
London Catholic District School Board

“I have found that your staff is one of the best I have worked with. Always helpful, knowledgeable and able to resolve issues I may have. Your staff has modified the system to meet our growing needs. CoreSolutions has made this project a great success!”

Bruce Smith, Manager of IT Services
Grand Erie District School Board

"PD Place, an on-line professional development registration software package, delivers everything CoreSolutions' brochure promises. The program is backed up by a team of professionals always available to assist and advise customers. PD Place is a key management tool used within our organization. I am not surprised that over 20 school districts and 50,000 staff members use PD Place.”

Elrln O'Neill, Technical Application Support Specialist

"It has been a pleasure working with CoreSolutions. Several times, our IT staff mentioned that CoreSotutions' service was exceptional; better than any other company they had dealt with to date."

Paula Child, Manager of Staff Development and Training
Lambton Kent District School Board

"I have managed numerous implementations over the past 25 years, and PD Place was by far the easiest and smoothest I have ever experienced. Most times, converting data from one system to another is a major undertaking with numerous problems and issues. The CoreSolutions staff was able to easily migrate our data over, saving us months worth of grief and hard work required in other migrations. CoreSolutions was very receptive to our needs and requirements, responding and resolving issues quickly, and even making enhancements to the application for our benefit. It was a delight working with CoreSolutions. I wish all implementations were like this one."

Frank Mastronardi, Supervisor of System Applications & Corporate Services
Lambton Kent District School Board

“As a principal it is vitally important to know the strengths of your staff. It is even more important to nurture those strengths. When I was re-assigned to a new school, the In-service record of staff participation in professional development enabled me to better organize my school, be a mentor to less experienced staff and to utilize the talents and expertise of all staff in delivering a dynamic program to our kids. In my early years as a principal that kind of information was not easily obtainable. Thank you for taking us into the 21st century with PD Place. The information provided within PD Place inherently supports our goals for professional learning teams.”

Vincent McDonald, Principal
Jean Vanier School

“I want you to know that online registration has changed my whole attitude toward professional development. I am in the information loop right now. I know what is going on, I know when it is happening, and I know which professional development session will enable me to further develop my skills.”

Mary Fran Boom, Teacher
St. Marks School

“PD Place has made life a lot easier for me. I no longer need to remind staff of deadlines, collect, check and submit registration forms to central office and follow later to ensure that staff members are registered and in the sessions they hoped to attend.”

Mary Vengeer, School Secretary
St Mary’s Choir & Orchestra School

"PD Place itself Is very intuitive, and we feel that our users will have no problem operating it. Because PD Place is so easy, it means we don't have to give training sessions for general users, we only need to provide them with a 1 page instruction document."

Frank Mastronardi, Supervisor of System Applications & Corporate Services
Lambton Kent District School Board

"CoreSolutions provided great technical support as required, and in a timely manner. They were willing to provide information on how the system worked whenever we met a problem or had a concern. All staff at CoreSolutions provided courteous service. Our main contact was always pleasant, willing to give us the time we needed, and spoke to us in easy to understand language. CoreSolutions met all time lines and always followed through on promises, which included enhancements to the program.”

Paula Child, Manager of Staff Development and Training
Lambton Kent District School Board

"CoreSolutions has provided excellent support in our implementation including: customization for our specific needs, colour co-ordinating with board colours, custom naming, and using specific board terminology for professional development events."
