The Division of Occupational Psychology (DOP) invites you to tender for a workshop for the 2008 Learning a Living programme. We invite tenders from all individuals who have relevant experience and expertise in their chosen workshop area. You do not have to be a member of the DOP to submit a tender.

The deadline for submitting a tender was 29th June.

Dear Colleagues

As occupational psychologists we recognise and value the importance of continuing professional development (CPD) and lifelong learning. We also recognise that the majority of us are working in an increasingly fast-moving and competitive environment, making it a commercial requirement to regularly update our skills.

Our Learning a Living programme for 2007 is second to none, offering you specialist training and development at competitive prices. Each attendee will receive a certificate of attendance, which will be accepted as evidence for your CPD portfolio or to contribute to your Logbook if you are a Practitioner-in-Training. Our programme offers value for money, as we have frozen prices at 2004 levels and we have reduced the concessionary price. Further, this year’s programme provides better value through enhanced workshop and masterclass documentation. All our events are attended by a DOP representative and we produce a report of the day, which is published on our Learning a Living website. We also provide the opportunity for individual delegates to give their own overview of events they attend.

With the introduction of the Society’s mandatory CPD requirements, the DOP and its Training and Development Subcommittee continue to work towards providing a diverse programme of workshop events. Our brochure for 2007 includes detailed information about each event so that you will be better able to decide which ones are suitable for your own personal needs. The DOP is always looking for increased member input and feedback, so if you have any topics that you would like to see in future programmes please let us know.
