CPD Approved Training Courses

The Society is delighted to have approved a range of courses and events run by other organisations as detailed below. If you wish to claim CPD points then looking ahead to Phase 2 of our exciting new website development this will happen automatically if the organisers listed keep us up to date of when the courses run and when members attend. This means that it will become easier than ever to keep your CPD portfolio fully updated. Keep checking the website for more details.

These courses have met the requirements for approval by the Society and are seen to have relevant content at an appropriate level. In no instance are they a requirement of membership of the Society, they are CPD approved only.

Any queries or for further assistance please contact cpd@csofs.org
