From 2024 we are improving the way we badge CPD. We are pleased to offer all training providers delivering sector relevant training the opportunity to be recognised as a ‘CIHT Approved Training Provider’, but also to gain an ‘Approved for CPD by CIHT badge’ for your face-to-face courses.
This badge demonstrates to people that your face-to-face CPD activities are a source of high quality CPD for highways and transportation professionals and can be awarded for courses, conferences and CPD events, provided they meet the required criteria.
The badge will be awarded annually and, on a course-by-course basis, meaning training providers will need to apply for recognition for each course, but will be able to run it multiple times in the year.
