Why should I attend?
The Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) continuing professional development (CPD) workshops are practical, interactive training events that aim to develop attendees’ capabilities in a specific area. They are designed to increase participants’ value to their companies, progress their careers and increase opportunities.
What will I achieve?
The workshops have set objectives that enable attendees to take away new skills and knowledge, which they can then apply in their professional capacity. Training is supported by comprehensive notes to aid dissemination.
What can I expect?
The events usually focus on one topic. Typical subject areas include effective management, communication and presentation skills, finance and procurement, strategic planning or health and safety. CPD workshops encourage active participation through a stimulating mix of panel discussions, group exercises, breakout sessions and presentations. The workshops take an informal approach and delegate numbers are kept low to promote discussion and participation. They also provide an excellent networking opportunity. They are led by CIOB members or external speakers from leading companies and organisations. Workshops usually range from one to two days in length.
Who should attend?
CIOB CPD events are open to members and non-members who want to refresh, improve or gain skills and knowledge that are necessary to develop their careers. Previous delegates have ranged from senior management to graduate trainees .
