Take a break from the festivities for the advice to help you make that New Year’s resolution, to get your Full IHBC accreditation, a concrete reality
The IHBC’s new round of MATE sessions offers free places at our 2-hour online accreditation guidance sessions, all available on a ‘first come’ basis, with CPD certificates available for completion.
These MATEs are being held on three days in the run up to Christmas, and offer the chance to try out the IHBC’s emerging new application form in advance of its formal roll out later in 2025.
The new form is more accessible – being both simpler and easier to use. Alongside advice from our MATE sessions, these maintain the same standards and competences expected by the IHBC while offering a more streamlined route for applicants to reach their accreditation and career goals.
Each of these initial MATEs will focus on the application process for three specialist practice and employment areas: Church, Church building and Places of Worship organisations, Local Authority staff, & Private Sector staff.
As well as advice on making an IHBC application there is the chance to meet others in similar practice areas.
If you cannot make these dates or do not fit into the target groups a general access MATE session will be held in early 2025.
