Upskilling: The Compulsory Purchase Professional Development Programme
Equipping professionals with essential knowledge and skills in the compulsory purchase sector
Welcome to the new initiative being offered by the CPA and CPT Events. The following information and tabs provide further insight into the programme.
Technical Knowledge | Comprehensive training in the essentials of compulsory purchase law, procedure and practice. Through 10 specific modules focusing on all stages of the compulsory purchase process; promotion through to resolution of compensation. |
Practical Skills | Emphasis on professional skills required to achieve best practice in the professional conduct of compulsory purchase, including reference to relevant professional guidance. |
Multi-Disciplinary | The programme will be equally relevant and accessible to professionals from all disciplines engaged in compulsory purchase work, including surveyors, lawyers, planners and other professionals. Individuals can tailor their learning outcomes according to the practice area in which they work, whilst achieving rounded knowledge of the overall compulsory purchase process. |
Assessment | Each module will allow opportunity for self-assessment to ensure full value from the course. |
Certificate | A certificate of completion will be given to those that complete all modules in the programme, in recognition of having undertaken comprehensive professional training. |
The Mechanics of the Programme:
- 10 virtual modules across 7 months – approximately one session every 3 weeks; on Mondays starting at 12.00 for 2.5hrs. Sessions will provide additional reading and self-assessments will be offered that can be used to demonstrate acquired knowledge to line managers. In addition organisational systems can be discussed in these 1-2-1 environments. Participants are urged to attend live and actively participate; sessions will be available on demand should work and other commitments arise.
- All sessions work towards an 11th in-person module/workshop comprising case studies and group discussions, led by some of the tutors, followed by a networking session. This workshop will give attendees the opportunity to demonstrate their new skills and further build relationships with peers.
- There is no formal assessment of what is learnt, in a similar way to the provision of CPD events. Candidates should be motivated towards self-learning. Employers and line managers will be the ultimate assessors of the new skills they have achieved. The true value is in the attendee acquiring the knowledge and understanding, becoming more valuable and more dependable to line managers. The reward will manifest in the attendee’s career.
