Environmental Good Practice for Construction & EPA Programme

6.30pm: Laurie McLeman FCIOB will deliver our EPA workshop.

The Experienced Practitioner Assessed Programme (EPA) is an examined

route for those who would have typically been in middle management

for around five years with responsibility for the whole or part of a

process in construction.

The Experienced Practitioner Assessed Report route (EPAR) is aimed

at those experienced practitioners who would have typically ten years

of substantive experience in a senior management role with

responsibilities for people, finance and projects. The candidate will

write a technical report and undertake an oral examination based on

their technical knowledge.

Our workshop will cover both routes, giving an in-depth view of

the EPA and what candidates will undertake during their studies,

plus guidance for the EPAR and what the report should contain

and information on the oral examination.

The workshop will also cover the Professional Review - the final

step to Chartered membership.

We will have a short break for tea, coffee and sandwiches at 7.45pm.
