The full day can count towards the CPD requirements of professional bodies

Scotland currently has a deficit of conservation accredited professionals, which presents a major hurdle for the delivery of appropriate repairs and maintenance to the historic environment. In order to help address this gap, Glasgow City Heritage Trust is hosting a one-day conference on conservation accreditation within the heritage and built environment sectors.

What you’ll learn: 

Attendees will be able to hear from leading accreditation bodies about the value of accreditation for conserving our historic environment, how the application process works and how being conservation accredited can open new career paths.

The conference will be split into two parts, with the first session focusing on individual and organisational experiences with the process of getting conservation accredited and the benefits of accreditation, as well as advice for potential applicants and a discussion amongst delegates about the current accreditation process. The second session will be split into parallel workshops for participants to get more information about the application process specific to their professional area and get guidance on applications.
