New Non-Domestic Conventions (Issue 8) CPD

Pre-Booking is required.

Due to high demand for this CPD prior to the go live date of the conventions, this additional session has been arranged. 

This is high value targeted CPD session for Non-Domestic Energy Assessors.

It is provided by Proficiency with support from Elmhurst and is intended to give an understanding of the convention changes immediately ahead of their implementation on 1st February 2023. 

The session will be led by Ian Sturt, Chairman of Proficiency, assessor representative on the non-domestic conventions group and one of the primary authors of the convention changes. Ian will be supported by Josh Wakeling, Head of Operations at Elmhurst and another of the primary contributors to the new conventions. 

You will have an explanation of the convention changes and the opportunity to ask questions directly to some of the people involved in the process of developing them. The session is planned to last approximately one hour with a Q & A at the end; and we fully expect there to be some questions so allow an hour and a half! 

Target audience.

This will be a minimum of 1 hour of certificated CPD, highly relevant to the non-domestic strand. It is unlikely to be relevant to anyone other than non-domestic assessors.

Attendance certificates will be added to the Proficiency member's CPD record. Non-Proficiency members will be provided with an attendance certificate to enable them to claim at least an hour of relevant CPD.

HOW IT WORKS - Please read carefully

You will be sent joining instructions and/or the relevant link ahead of the meeting. This is typically sent out about 1 day ahead of the event. For online events we generally use Zoom.

Around 24 hours ahead of the event you will receive a link to register for the event. You can do this any time from then until just before the meeting starts. Once you have registered you will receive the actual meeting link. Please ensure you register using your correct full name. This ensures you will get the right name on your CPD certificate (if applicable),

Please also ensure you have tested your set up and both your audio and video are working. If we cannot see you are present we may not be able to issue you with a CPD certificate. If you know in advance that you will not have video capability, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and we will agree an alternative way in which the organisers can verify you were actually present (and hopefully paying attention) for the entire session.

If you need to briefly deal with something like an urgent phone call during the session, please turn your video off whilst you do so to avoid a distraction to other attendees. Video off for short periods of absence will not affect eligibility for CPD certificates. Prolonged periods of absence or where video is off so you could be absent, will prevent us being able to issue a CPD certificate. This verification of your presence is essential for us to ensure that the value of Proficiency CPD certificates is maintained so they can be accepted by accreditation schemes. 

(There are no refunds where CPD certificates cannot be issued due to only partial attendance at an event).
