Following on from the success of the previous series I am pleased to introduce the third CPD Series of seminars which will take place across the UK from September 2013 to January 2014. Over 5,300 delegates attended the seminars in the Spring series, making the most of this local, low cost and affordable CPD.

Again the events in this new series are tailored to individual regions and provide a breadth of topics to meet the requirements of the CPD policy and to help with your professional development.

Further opportunity for CPD and networking with like-minded professionals in your region is available at your region’s CPD Day, details of which are also on this flyer. This multi-discipline conference again provides great value for money with a choice of sessions to really tailor the day to your requirements.

For more information on the CPD Autumn Series, the CPD Day or any other conferences please contact the RICS Conferences team on +44 (0)20 7695 1600 or email conferences@rics.org

Welcome to the RICS CPD Series of Seminars

“We have found the RICS CPD events to have an excellent range of topics. These have always been beneficial to our graduates, with the quality of information and knowledge provided being the highest at very reasonable cost. I would strongly recommend these events for any professional in our industry.”Tim Bunker FRICS IRRV, Partner, Ryden

“The pace of change in our markets has only quickened since the recession so to have the ability to attend relevant and topical presentations right here on my doorstep in Edinburgh means that the RICS organised CPD Series now forms an important part of my continuous learning requirements.”Gregor Martin, Investment Surveyor, Eric Young & Co.

“The depth and breadth of the CPD series allows the City of Edinburgh Council’s surveyors to update their knowledge and skills on a wide range of topics whilst minimising the time that they are taken away from their roles looking after the City of Edinburgh’s built infrastructure. Signing up to the CPD series has helped Edinburgh become the first Scottish local authority to achieve Investors In People Gold status.”Craig Lamont, Edinburgh Council
