Event Approval

'CIWM Approval' is only available for seminars, workshops and conferences of up to three days duration.  A seminar, workshop or conference is defined as an event where there are a number of speakers from different backgrounds briefing the audience on different topics.

Seminars, workshops and conference sessions can be awarded full Accreditation through the established procedure if they so wish. However as event approval is not intended to replace accreditation, training courses will not be able to apply for Approved Event status.

Procedure
In order to 'Approve' an Event for CPD purposes,  the programme should be emailed to education@ciwm.co.uk.  The programme should detail the speakers and the topics on which they will be talking.  A draft programme can be submitted, as long as 75% of the speakers have been confirmed.

The programme will then be assessed by the CIWM Approval and Accreditation Team with regards to its suitability as CPD for our members.  If the event is deemed suitable, a confirmation letter will be sent to the organisers detailing the hours that it can contribute to CPD and SLD, together with the CIWM Approved Event logo. 

Promotion
If Approved, the event will be promoted to our members through an entry on the dedicated Approved Events page linked from News Online. Any further advertising at a reduced rate can be arranged by speaking to the CIWM Sales Team.

Cost
Event Approval is currently charged at £100+VAT per event, and usually takes around 5 working days to process.
