Continuing Professional Development Programme for BCOs
Welcome to the Institute’s Continuing Professional Development programme for BCOs.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the ongoing acquisition of knowledge, skills, and training aimed at improving and enhancing existing professional practice, and developing the personal qualities required in professional life.
The Institute’s Continuing Professional development programme was developed for Building Control Officers (BCO’s) to advance and promote individual betterment, ensuring members were apprised of the best quality information and up to date work practices within the built environment. Over the years the Institute’s training through our Training Academy has expanded its course content and now includes training that is relevant to Licenced Building Practitioners (LBP’s), designers and IQP’s. The resultant outcome is that training benefits accrue not only to individuals but to Building Control Authorities and employees alike.
The hallmark of CPD is that it recognises things change over time. Professional and technical information, research, legislation, and processes evolve in the Building Controls profession. To remain a competent professional giving quality advice and service requires developments and changes to be continually recognised through relevant training, education and professional programmes. CPD keeps you ahead of the game.
