The IHBC’s West Midlands (WM) Branch has posted exemplary Branch survey feedback on its highly rated CPD programme ‘The Conservation Hour’, a ‘10-part series of lunchtime lectures focused around the IHBC core competencies’.
‘… an especially good model to structure locally delivered learning and CPD programmes…’
Education Secretary Chris Woods said: ‘The Branch should be both praised and congratulated for organising this innovative and well-received event.’
‘No less important is their success in getting such comprehensive feedback from delegates, which is so helpful and important to us all. This will lead to ongoing refinements and improvement there, while the IHBC’s UK-wide Education Committee will also be able to use this to inform our wider plans.’
‘I am delighted to say that our new UK-wide Education Officer lead, Anna Hart, will be able to incorporate consideration of those results in our Committee planning for Branch and member support.’
WM Branch lead on the programme. Rachael Parry, Building Surveyor at the National Trust, said: ‘I am very pleased that those who attended felt it was beneficial, there was a lot of time (and patience) that went into it from myself and the speakers.’
Anna Hart, IHBC’s lead consultant supporting education and applications said: ‘Ongoing learning and development is crucial to ensuring that our members feel able to make informed and confident decisions that both protect the significance of our valuable heritage and see it celebrated as a sustainable asset long into the future.’
‘With this Branch programmes so closely tied to our suite of ‘Competences’, it serves as an especially good model to structure locally delivered learning and CPD programmes.’
