Low cost CPD programme for PLANNERS 2013/14
What does the programme look like?
East Midlands Councils (EMC) has again developed a programme of 6 low cost Continuing Professional Development (CPD) knowledge based seminars for local authority planners and other development professionals. The programme will tackle issues of relevance to local planning authorities and all the seminars will be held in Melton Mowbray.
How does it work?
- Each local authority that is a member of EMC will pay a one off cost of £575+VAT per participating organisation per year.
- For this fee, participating organisations can have 18 course places per year (3* places per seminar).
- Each seminar of the programme will recognise the completion of a minimum of 5½ hours CPD.
- The 2013/14 seminar topics have been chosen by each of the county Chief Planning Officers (CPO) groups. These topics will change in future years to reflect the diverse nature of planning.
Benefits:
- At least 18 officers attending the 6 seminars
- At least 90 hours of development
- A cost saving of over £2000
