Continuous Professional Development Programme
CPD whether it is a condition of employment or to help maintain your professional qualifications is a growing and necessary requirement. The CMI in conjunction with MCMD and the International Business School has recognised this need and has developed a series of seminars which will appeal to various professional disciplines and not just to members of the Chartered Management Institute.
The 90-minute Seminars are delivered at breakfast time (7.15am - 8.45am) and repeated later in the month at lunchtime (12.00pm - 1.30pm) to ensure that whatever your busy schedule there is an opportunity to attend these events.
Seminar attendees will receive a CPD Certificate detailing the CPD hours earned during the session and a light breakfast/ lunch will be provided in a brown paper bag. Places at each seminar are limited to 50 attendees, and will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
The cost to attend either of the Seminars is just £10 which includes the 'Brown Bag’ lunch/breakfast.
