Introduction To Financial Planning (Professional Qualifications Series) [Event Ref. No. TG1/QSAPR]
Please note that this event is also advertised in the ‘Professional Qualifications Support Workshops’ section of our events calendar.
cpd25’s programme of ten two-hour workshops is devised primarily to support CILIP Chartership and ACLIP candidates. However, many of the events in the programme are highly relevant to staff working as Library Assistants, Senior Library Assistants and so on. The events are aimed, therefore, at all levels of library staff – who may or may not be seeking Certification or Chartership, but who wish to further their professional skills and development.
Places are available on either the whole series (£155 for cpd25 members, £210 for external organisations) or for individual workshops (£29 for cpd25 members, £49 otherwise).
The event reference number for booking a place on the whole series is TG1/QSALL. Please refer to each workshop’s individual description for their individual event reference numbers.
