Learn, Develop, Network… Eat! Our interesting and motivating CPD Seminars are a convenient way for you to learn something new, develop your knowledge of a specialist subject, meet like-minded people, and eat a nice buffet… all in your lunch hour! And for just £15. What is CPD? CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development, or alternatively Continuing Personal Development. No matter what you call it, CPD is basically a concept which emphasises ‘lifelong learning’. It proposes that learning is an essential part of professional life, not an optional extra… or, as our adverts say, “it’s never too late to learn”. CPD is therefore about updating and enhancing your knowledge, your skills and competences, throughout your working life - to help you progress in your career and realise your full potential. Many professional bodies, like the Chartered Management Institute, require that their members undertake a certain number of hours of CPD in order to keep their status as Chartered Managers, Chartered Marketers, Chartered Accountants etc. This said, CPD is much broader than attending a formal training course or event and can include seminars, distance learning, reading, teaching and even accepting new roles and responsibilities at work. What CPD does the Business School offer? Studying for a degree or professional qualification, or attending a short course or workshop, at the Isle of Man International Business School, can all count towards an individual’s CPD… but in addition to this, we also offer an ongoing programme of ‘bite-size’, lunchtime CPD seminars. Our one-hour seminars, on a variety of interesting and motivating subjects, are a convenient way to contribute to the Continuing Professional Development requirements of members of the Chartered Management Institute, and other professional bodies, on the Isle of Man. Open to all Island residents (whether you belong to a professional body or not), each lunchtime seminar is repeated twice in one month and costs £15 to attend. This includes a buffet lunch, which is provided between 12.30pm and 12.45pm, with the seminars starting promptly at 12.45pm and finishing at 1.45pm. All delegates are given a pack on arrival - including handouts of the presentation and a ‘CPD certificate’ to demonstrate that you’ve completed one hour of continuing professional development. To assure you of the quality of our seminars, the content and learning outcomes of all CPD presentations at The IBS are mapped against the National Occupational Standards developed by the Management Standards Centre - the Government-recognised standards-setting body for the areas of management and leadership. Forthcoming Seminars:
How do I register for a seminar? Given that places on our seminars are limited and becoming very popular, you are advised to register for your place as soon as possible by returning a completed CPD Seminars Registration Form to our Enquiries and Admissions Team - no later than three days before the seminar of your choice. For the comfort of those who have pre-booked their place, and in order to adhere to our room capacity regulations and catering arrangements, if we have not received your completed CPD Seminars Registration Form no later than three days in advance of the seminar, we're sorry but we will not permit you to attend on the day. Anyone who arrives for a seminar without pre-registering with our Enquiries and Admissions Team will be turned away, so please do remember to register and bring your booking confirmation email with you. It is a government policy that payments by credit/debit card cannot be accepted. All persons who register for a seminar will be invoiced after the seminar and payment subsequently collected. Cash and cheques cannot be accepted at the seminar. Please note that unless you arrange with us in advance for a colleague to attend a seminar in your place, you will still be invoiced for a seminar if you have registered but do not attend. Only delegates who have pre-booked their place and supplied invoicing details will receive a CPD Certificate.
