–   Meeting your CPD needs   –   Sharing and connecting with building conservation professionals   –  Guiding you through the Full Membership application process

IHBC Conservation Hour Competency sessions and MATEs session WM REV C

Session 1:   full MATE seminar given by IHBC and supported by WM IHBC Branch members  (1 x 3hr)

Sessions 2-9:   based around the competencies required by IHBC for full membership applications or CPD contributions   (8 x 1hr)

Session 10:   chance to ask questions for those ready to submit full membership applications, supported by national IHBC office  (1 x 2hr)

Using the very best knowledge, expertise, and experience from our very own West Midlands IHBC Branch Members* we have curated a timetable of online events which will concentrate on each individual competency and enable our members to showcase and share their projects and provide networking opportunities.

The monthly hour long sessions will run from 12.30pm-1.30pm, enabling you to log on during your lunch hour or play back at your own leisure.

Each session will have a different speaker, time for Q&A on the presentation and a Q&A on the competency and application process.

HELPING YOU SUBMIT YOUR FULL MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION

Need help and support on completing your application? The branch committee have taken on board the comments and feedback regarding the application form and process. These sessions have been designed to help and guide applicants and provide bitesize monthly opportunities with which you can follow along to help you write & submit your application. You can join any or all sessions and will be able to ask questions during each event, especially around submitting your application.

KEEPING YOUR CPD UP TO DATE

Each member is required to undertake a minimum of 50 hours of relevant professional development over a rolling two year period. You can dip in and out of sessions as and when, and we will aim to record each session for those unable to attend.
