Continuing Professional Development Programme for BCOs
Welcome to the Institute’s Continuing Professional Development programme for BCOs.
The Institute’s view on CPD for our industry is the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skill, and the development of personal qualities necessary for the undertaking of professional and technical duties related to working as a Building Control Officer and Accredited Building Surveyor. The Institute also encourages all members of the Institute to participate in this programme.
The key reasons for introducing a CPD programme are:
- To allow individuals to demonstrate levels of proficiency and professionalism
- To enhance the skills of individuals
- To encourage a better trained workforce with ongoing professional development
- Recognition of experience and qualifications
- To lift the status of Building Officials and Accredited Building Surveyors by maintaining knowledge and skills within the professions
- To lift the status of Institute membership
- To encourage Building Consent Authorities, Territorial Authorities and inspection bodies to develop continual training for their personnel
