CPDS is exclusive to the DCE network. It’s main purpose is to keep you updated with the next series of regional events and seminar presentations. Throughout this issue you will see information and details on the various dates, locations and some of the companies who are taking part. The next two pages, 4 & 5, list ALL the event dates, up to mid June, for the Meet the EXPERTS series - some 35+ different opportunities to acquire CPD hours! As always, the DCE events are reaching out across all parts of the UK and Ireland with the 2015 events. This year we will have SIX ‘themed’ seminars in LONDON: Please note that we don’t offer double points or double time for any of the third party approved CPD presentations. Most Building and Construction professionals are expected to accumulate 105 hours over three years = 35 hours per year and approx 1hr per working week. We believe that should mean 105 hours and not 52 and 1/2! FRONT COVER STORY I do look forward to seeing you at your ‘local’ DCE event before too long. Please go to www.dcecpd.co.uk and register so that we have sufficient catering for you. Are you visiting Ecobuild? I will be on stand N1042 and look forward to saying hello. Finally, here’s a thought for 2015: Exit Signs - are they on the way out? Best regards Repair, Refurb, Retrofit - February and November Specifying Timber Building Products - April Outdoor Engineering - May Structural TLC - June Specifying Security Solutions - September In addition, we have more than 70 events at other strategic locations all over the British Isles! ALL of the events will see some excellent and technical PROBLEM SOLVING PRODUCT PRESENTATIONS given by leading industry experts. ALL talks will comply to the CPD requirement to ‘Technically Update’ and we will continue to provide CPD Attendance Certificates at each venue. Our 2014 events saw some great new seminar topics and I can already promise even more ‘fresh’ presentations for 2015! We have a whole host of new and different companies involved this year and most of the existing presenters have completely revamped and refreshed their seminars for the upcoming dates.
