This session is repeated periodically, although content will vary each time as it is tailored to address points sent in ahead of the session or raised on the day.
Bookings for this event WILL CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT THE DAY BEFORE THE EVENT
Non-domestic Conventions Q&A. Repeated due to popular demand.
An opportunity to gain a better understanding of the non-domestic conventions and how to apply them.
Pre-Booking is required.
This is a CPD session specifically for NDEAs
Facilitated by Proficiency Chairman Ian Sturt, there will be an opportunity to ask about any of the conventions you are not clear on.
Ian has been involved with the conventions groups since early 2011 and has been the primary author of, or contributed to development of, a significant proportion of the conventions. There are few people in the industry with a better understanding of why they are written the way they are.
The session will consist of:
To get the most out of this session, please think about which conventions you don't really understand. Email your list of those conventions and an indication of what you are unsure of to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with "Non-domestic Conventions Q&A" in the subject line.
Any conventions we cannot satisfactorily explain will be identified and referred to the conventions group for clarification.
This event is FREE for Proficiency members. It is open to non-members at a cost of £25. (It makes more sense to join and get at least 12 sessions like this for free in the year).
Attendance certificates will be added to the member's CPD record. Non-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),
(If there is less than 24 hours to go, please check your junk / spam folder before contacting us to say you haven't received the link. It will probably be there. If it is not then do contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. but don't leave it to the last minute. Once we have started to set up for the session we will not be able to take calls or respond to emails).
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).
