  • the aims and objectives outlined, the mode in which the CPD will be delivered, duration, location as well as intended audience are appropriate;

  • promotion of service(s) and/or product(s) has been kept to a minimum;

  • the course content relates to the CIAT Professional Standards Framework or the built environment industry;

  • the course provides information to improve communication, conflict resolution, customer/client service, negotiation relevant to industry and practise;

  • legal or relevant legislative/regulatory issues are covered;

  • it provides updates on environment and sustainable issues;

  • expands on current/emerging topics, practises and/or technologies;

  • health, safety and welfare briefings are provided;

  • information on budgets/contracts is provided;

  • the learner develops an understanding of processes, materials, techniques, methods, technologies etc; and

  • content relates to client engagement, procurement, services and business practise.

*CIAT Certification implies that the course content has been assessed for its suitability and relevance to the Institute’s members but has not been formally assessed against CIAT’s Professional Standards Framework. CIAT Certification does not include assessment or approval of course delivery or its outputs.
