If we cannot see you are present we may not be ab le to issue you with a CPD certificate.

Video off for short periods of absence will not affect eligibility for CPD certificates. Prolonged periods of abs ence 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 ess ential for us to ensure that the value of Proficiency CPD certificates is maintained so they can be accepted by accreditation schemes. \n(There are no refunds where CPD certificates cannot be issued due to only partial att endance at an event). https://proficiency.services/events/past-events/even t/357-proficiency-cpd-31st-july-2024-non-domestic-conventions-q-a DTSTART:20240731T150000Z DTEND:20240731T163000Z LOCATION:Online () SUMMARY:Proficiency CPD (31st July 2024) - Non-domestic Conventions Q&A URL:https://proficiency.services/events/past-events/event/357-proficiency-c pd-31st-july-2024-non-domestic-conventions-q-a END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
