Guild Webinar – An Introduction to Accreditation

As we start a new Membership Year we have 18 active accreditation candidates and eight awaiting the successful completion of Assignment 1.  Whilst those figures are identical to those of a year ago only three of the active candidates are new ones.  So, we need to encourage more members, especially new ones, to undertake the Accreditation Process, which is now open to all members.

I therefore thought it was time to deliver a webinar explaining in some depth exactly what the Accreditation Process is, to the whole Guild audience and not just those who attend AGMs and hear my annual reports on the Process.

The webinar will cover:

• The background to Accreditation.
• What the Accreditation Process is.
• And what it isn’t.
• How it works.
• The role of the validators and verifiers.
• How it links into the Guild’s Education Programme.
• What our expectations of the candidates are.
• A Summary and a Conclusion.
• An open forum.

I look forward to seeing as many members as possible attending on the 20th of May, especially new members and those undertaking, or considering undertaking, the Accreditation Process.
