Looking Forward to 2016

The past year has been an exciting one for Enky, as we have grown from an idea to a true business start-up. Enky was started back in June by our co-founders & executive team, Mike Coté & Bryan Andrade, as a simple way for professionals across the US to find, track, & complete their continuing education credits. Since then, we have been hard at work on further developing & testing the idea through our interactions with future users & course provider partners who will form the 2 sides of our Professional Education Marketplace. Your feedback has been critical in learning what different professionals from industries as varied as healthcare (for humans & animals), finance, & design/engineering need in a continuing education solution. Please continue interacting with us via our Facebook & Twitter pages, as well as over email, so we can listen to your concerns & suggestions & use them to improve our service.

Speaking of the Enky service, we are excited to announce that we will be launching a public beta version of the Enky Professional Education Marketplace during the 2nd Quarter of 2016! This beta will have all of the features we have detailed in our previous blog posts, including: a full search to find continuing education courses throughout the US, Enky SmartTrack to help users track & manage their past, current, & future education courses, Deadline Digest to remind you of upcoming deadlines & courses, and our proprietary Course Recommendation Engine which uses browsing history & information shared by the user to tailor course suggestions to each individual professional. Registration for the public beta is now open at enky.com & is simple & completely free of charge. We are deeply committed to serving the professional community as best we can & we are sure that we will not let you down. Stay tuned for more frequent updates on our progress with the beta release & all of the great professional content you have come to expect from the Enky team. We look forward to seeing you in the Professional Education Marketplace!

Sincerely,

The Enky Team

What is Enky?

Welcome to the Enky Inc. blog! My name is Mike Coté and I am the CEO and co-founder of Enky, Inc., a brand new web start-up committed to changing professional education for the better. We are focused on making the continuing education process simpler, faster, cheaper and more transparent for professionals of all types, from accountants to veterinarians and everyone in between. Our free to use marketplace will allow professionals to search a comprehensive database of thousands of continuing education courses from state-accredited providers, as well as training and professional development courses from vetted non-accredited providers. Finally, professionals will be able to easily compare course content, pricing, and user reviews across various providers to find the best fit for their learning style, budget, and busy schedule!

Professionals who visit Enky will be able to search our marketplace free of charge without being forced to register for an account. However, visitors who choose to register as Enky users through our quick and easy process will have access to a myriad of helpful, free features to assist them on their professional development journey. Registered Enky users will be able to track their continuing education credit data through our unique credit management tool, set and measure progress towards certification and training goals, and even receive automated course registration and license renewal deadline reminders. What really makes Enky special is our proprietary Course Recommendation Engine, which combines a user’s previous education credit history with insights gained from users’ Enky browsing data to suggest new courses the user may be interested in taking. This use of data to enhance professional learning and development is the first of its kind and will serve to make choosing professional education courses easier as well as opening up users to new areas of study in their fields.

As we approach our launch in the coming months, this blog will be updated with the status of our progress towards the launch as well as further information about Enky, our team, and the features and support you can come to expect from us. Furthermore, this blog will explore the topic of continuing professional education, the challenges and benefits of being a professional, and stories of life from actual professionals in a wide variety of fields (including myself, a Certified Public Accountant). We look forward to serving you with the best professional education site on the web, and hope you check back here often for news and updates!

Yours truly,

Mike Coté

Enky Inc. CEO/Co-Founder
