The University of Leicester has launched a suite of new CPD courses, working in partnership with English Heritage (EH) and a range of guest heritage professionals.
The University of Leicester writes:
The University of Leicester is delighted to announce an exciting new project in conjunction with English Heritage to develop continuous professional development courses which will deliver practical, technical and specialist skills for heritage professionals to meet the skills gaps identified within the sector. We will be offering a series of training and CPD courses which will enhance practical skills and address those key areas which will help practitioners develop their knowledge and career prospects as well as bridging the skills gaps within the sector.
Courses are individually tailored by leading practitioners in their fields and will cover a variety of topics including:
- First World War
- Post-War Architecture
- Energy and efficiency in historic buildings
- Graphics and Illustration
- Preparing statements of significance
Courses will focus on the practical, technical and specialist skills of the workforce and be delivered by staff from English Heritage, the University of Leicester and other experts including the new Heritage Skills Centre based at Lincoln Castle. The three-year programme will be wide-ranging and cover topics such as: how to re-use rural buildings, how to preserve burial sites, and how to commission work on historic buildings. Each course will have a limited number of spaces to ensure we provide a high degree of support and individually tailored attention to each student.
