Continuing Professional DevelopmentContinuing Professional Development (CPD) refers to the maintenance and

development of knowledge and skills relevant to ensuring you remain competent

as a professional engineer or technician.

It’s how you keep up-to-date with current practice; it drives you

to improve your skills and progress into new roles and keeps

you employable throughout your working life.

IET members have a professional obligation to undertake

CPD as detailed in the IET Rules of Conduct:

“ Members shall keep their knowledge and skills up-to-date

through planned professional development and seek to

broaden and deepen that knowledge throughout their

working life. Members shall also encourage persons

working under their supervision to do the same.”

Professionally registered members (CEng, IEng, EngTech or

ICTTech) must also follow the Engineering Council’s CPD Code.

CPD records are an excellent way to demonstrate that your

knowledge and skills are up-to-date. It doesn’t have to be

onerous to keep records – if you regularly record your CPD

activities as you do them, it’s a straightforward process.

Every course in this brochure has been given an estimated

indicator of CPD hours.

PROFESSIONALSKILLS TRAINING

Sometimes professional engineers or technicians are just

expected to know instinctively how to manage or communicate

effectively, often without ever having been shown how to do it.

Skills such as mentoring, technical report writing and

management are just as critical to the success of our

companies as keeping up with emerging technologies, and

just as important for our personal development.

Whether you are a manager looking to improve your skills,

or an individual looking for new techniques that could help

you make your next career step, we have a course that

could help you.

We are constantly adding to our range of professional skills

courses in accordance with the needs of our members.

Our courses are offered in London, Birmingham, Bristol,

Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

For the latest information on all courses in this brochure,

please visit our website

Take your skillsto the next levelSuccess as an engineer or technician is measured in cold hard facts, which

often means the more human aspects of our working lives are forgotten.

“ Great Mentor training.

Technicalreport writing

Is technical report writing a part of your role?

Are you looking to improve your report writing skills? This

course is designed to equip you with the skills required to

write effectively for your colleagues, customers and clients.

Professionals are not necessarily experts at report writing and

as a result are not as effective as they could be. This course

provides the opportunity to analyse your own work in terms

of writing style and grammar, revision of the document and

checking before it is issued. Summaries are increasingly

important: they make an initial impact, particularly on senior

management, and may often be used by readers who will never

need the full report.

The course discusses summary writing and how to put ideas

into practice. While the course focuses primarily on report

writing, delegates often ask for advice about other forms of

technical documentation including correspondence and

emails, specifi cations and procedures. The tutor is happy to

discuss these either within the group or on an individual basis.

This course is suitable for anyone who spends a considerable

amount of their working time reading or writing reports,

including senior staff and those wanting to refresh their

writing skills.


■ identify the readership and report objectives

■ write clearly and unambiguously

■ structure the report to achieve maximum impact

■ check reports thoroughly

■ present your report effectively.

Specifi cation writing course

Writing an effective specifi cation is key to a successful project

delivery. If the specifi cation is not fi t for purpose, the project will

consequently fail to meet expectation with possible signifi cant

commercial consequences. An effective specifi cation pitched

correctly will ensure a successful project outcome.

This course is aimed at anyone who has not written a

specifi cation before, or has and wants to improve their

specifi cation writing skills. It covers the end to end process

stages (planning, compiling and editorial aspects) with

practical tips on the best methodologies to apply.

The objective of the course therefore is to provide the basic

tools to writing an effective specifi cation.


■ approach the task of drafting in a systematic manner taking

into account the key steps to specifi cation writing and the

type of specifi cation required (e.g general or technical)

■ identify the appropriate structure for the specifi cation, in

order to communicate the requirements effectively and

effi ciently (e.g what method to apply to best describe the

specifi cation content and take into account the differing

needs of the owner and recipient)

■ apply the specifi cation language in a precise and clear

manner to prevent misinterpretation through vague

and ambiguous text.

■ apply effective methods of specifi cation amendment review

and issue control.

Introduction to bidding and tendering

This course is designed principally to provide delegates with

an approach to identify genuine opportunities, highlight

discriminators through win themes and value propositions and

to structure and develop bid activities within a business unit

ensuring resource is used appropriately and effi ciently. The

individual is challenged to focus upon each specifi c opportunity

to improve the win rate.

The course is aimed at:

■ Business development staff

■ Engineering, project and other staff involved in the

development and writing of bids and tenders

■ Managers involved in the development of company strategy

and goals


■ appreciate the key issues to be considered and evaluated at

each stage of the Bidding and Tendering process

■ have a better understanding of their relevance and how they

can be practically applied

■ have a better understanding of the importance of singling

out winning opportunities

■ identify and develop a consistent and coherent approach to

proposal writing

■ have an understanding of the terminology, technical and

procedural issues pertaining to the initial stages of an

acquisition programme

■ be more commercially aware and able to target their

resource where it may have the best outcome.

Introduction tocontract law

Understanding and limiting commercial risk is paramount to

any business. Contracts must clearly set out the responsibilities

and obligations of each party to the agreement to provide a

measure of protection should things not go to plan. Getting it

wrong can have far reaching consequences for the profi tability

of your business. Examining the key concepts within this

complex fi eld of law, the course will look at the cases and

judgements that form the basis of current contract law.

This introduction will prove invaluable for anyone involved

in creating business contracts, from engineers and project

managers making their own procurement decisions to

professional purchasing and contracts staff.


■ write and negotiate contract arrangements that provide

suffi cient protection to your company

■ identify the critical elements required to create a legally

binding contract

■ understand why terms are couched in the way they are,

including the origin of common contract clauses

■ recognise situations which may lead to early contract

termination, such as frustration, repudiation and rescission.

Introductionto TRIZ

TRIZ (the theory of inventive problem solving) was created

by engineers for engineers. The TRIZ process offers a rigorous

and systematic approach to understanding any problem and

uncovering the most effective route to practical solutions.

Learning this proven process will help you solve problems,

generate new ideas and develop systems quickly, cheaply

and inventively.

Based on concepts distilled from the analysis of past

engineering successes, TRIZ can be applied to both

technical and management problems in order to generate

workable solutions.

This course is suitable for engineers at any level, research and

development personnel, and technical, process, business,

training and engineering managers.


■ become systematically creative, enabling you to work

harder, smarter and faster

■ use your own knowledge and experience effectively

■ understand problems more clearly and see fast routes

to solving them

■ identify and solve contradictions to fi nd powerful solutions

to your problems

■ apply 40 Inventive Principles to fi nd ingenious and

robust solutions

■ use the TRIZ Trends of Technical Evolution to perfect

products and predict technological advances and

use existing resources to come up with clever solutions

to problems.

Finance andaccounting

Do you need a deeper understanding of fi nance to help

you communicate with accountants? Have you been promoted

and fi nd yourself dealing with the fi nancial aspects of

decision making?

This course will provide you with a fi rm grounding in the

principles of accounting, and an appreciation of the practical

application of accountancy to help develop your fi nancial

management skills.

The course is aimed at engineers and technicians at all stages

of their career who anticipate that an introduction to fi nance

will benefi t them.


■ understand various accounting qualifi cations and roles

that different accountants perform and simplify the complex

and jargon-laden world of fi nance

■ consider sources and applications of funds in a business

■ understand and prepare a profi t-and-loss account, balance

sheet, cash-fl ow statement and how to build a budget

and understand budgeting terms

■ interpret fi nancial statements through ratio analysis

■ make decisions based on management accounting

information.

An introduction to standards

All an engineer needs to know about ISO 9001, ISO 14001

and BS OHSAS 18001 – covering the planned revisions for

these standards (2015 / 2016).

Course overview

This content rich and lively one-day course is exclusive to the

IET and is designed to give an overview of the structure of three

essential standards that every engineer should know, which are

Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety, how they can be

implemented and the route to successful certifi cation.

Organisations wishing to operate effective Quality, Environmental

and Health and Safety Management Systems will be guided

through the following standards:

ISO 9001:2015 – Quality Management Systems

ISO 14001:2015 – Environmental Management Systems

BS OHSAS 18001:2007 / ISO45001:2016 – Health and

Safety Management Systems.

Each of these standards provides guidance for effective

implementation and a platform against which organisational

competence in that fi eld can be determined through formal

certifi cation. The benefi ts of implementing these standards

goes beyond the demonstration of competence and in each

case they can be used to drive improvement in an organisation.

LIFESKILLS

Managing changeThis introductory workshop to change management looks

at the impact change can have on individuals, why change

sometimes fails in organisations, and what steps are required

in order to successfully manage and implement change.

Competence: D

The art of being assertiveMany of us fi nd it diffi cult to say no. This often results in us

being weighed down with extra work and ultimately feeling

under pressure and undervalued. This workshop aims to

provide you with the skills to be assertive, to ensure that

your opinions are counted and that you can take control of

your work/life balance.

Competence: D

Leading and developing successful teamsManaging a team of people can be a diffi cult task. You

may have many different personalities who place different

constraints on your time and sometimes this may cause

confl ict. Getting your team to work together to perform

requires a manager who is adaptable in their approach and

indeed in how they motivate their staff and this workshop aims

to provide hints and tips to address some of these key issues.

Competence: C

Fundamentals of project managementUndertaking a project in the workplace can be somewhat

daunting, leaving you wondering where to start. This

introductory workshop examines three fundamental

elements of successful project management - planning,

organising and control and gives hints and tips on how to

get your project started.

Competence: C

Introduction to managementFinding the style of management that suits you and your

team can be challenging and so this workshop will give

you the tools that enhance your current management and

leadership qualities.

Competence: C

Communicating for successBeing able to communicate effectively with those around

us is vital to our success. However, at times, we can all

fi nd this challenging, causing certain key relationships to

break down. This workshop looks at the different ways that

we can communicate with people to ensure a productive,

harmonious and trusting working relationship.

Competence: D

Planning to run effective meetingsSometimes we attend meetings and fi nd ourselves

wondering why we are there or why it has taken nearly one

hour to go over one point. Planning and running an effective

meeting does require a certain set of skills and techniques

which will be discussed during this workshop.

Competence: D

Effective negotiationNegotiation is not only used for business purposes, it is

something we do all the time. For example, we use it in

our social lives perhaps when agreeing a time to meet.

Sometimes negotiation is seen as a means to benefi t

ourselves rather than both parties and is therefore open to

misuse. This workshop looks at the process of successful

negotiation and how to achieve a win/win situation.

Competence: D

Mentor Training: understanding professional registrationThe course explores the different professional registration

categories the IET is licensed to award by the Engineering

Council. Working with competences outlined in the

Success in engineering and technology means there

can be no room for error.

However, ensuring a large project is managed without problems

is sometimes easier said than done. There are different

interdisciplinary approaches to account for and often multiple

desired outcomes. That is why using an established and

systematic approaches to managing projects is essential.

Projects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE2®) is a process

based approach for effective project management. It provides an

easily tailored and scalable project management methodology for

the effective management of all types of projects.

It provides common processes and a unifi ed language,

helping to ensure projects and programmes are delivered

on time and to budget.

These courses are predominantly run in London, however

they are available on request in other locations.

Webinars: A world of knowledge at your fi ngertipsIntroducing professional development webinars for the

engineering and technology community.

We recognise that in today’s fast paced world, and coupled

with the geographical constraints many of us work under,

not everyone is able to attend face-to-face lifeskills training

sessions. For these reasons, we have developed live training

webinars to make these lifeskills events accessible across

the globe.

Our professional development scheduled webinars are free

of charge and can be accessed anywhere in the world with

an Internet connection. Access from your PC in the offi ce, at

home, or on the go by downloading the Adobe Connect app

on your mobile device (iOS and Android).

Please note: your service provider may charge you for your

Internet connection.

Our webinars run for approximately one hour and this will

contribute towards your continuing professional development

(CPD) as part of the IET’s CPD monitoring scheme. Further
