ECMK Accreditation Scheme

Here you can read the written responses kindly submitted by Gerry Cronin, Accreditation Manager for ECMK, detailing their CPD/LLL requirements.

CPD Hours

How many hours of CPD does your accreditation scheme require from members?

16 hours

Given that all first year DEAs will have spent considerable time training, qualifying and learning on-the-job, do they still need to complete their full CPD quota this year?

Not if they accredited before 1st March 2008

CPD and training courses

Can your members attend courses given by external third-parties, or must they attend your own in-house offerings?

In-house training and pre approved third party training

CPD course-approval

Do CPD courses need to be pre-approved by your scheme to be recognised?

Yes.

Are there any advertising guidelines that course providers should adhere to and DEAs should look out for to ensure the course is legitimate? For instance: should the advertisement quote something like: "This course is approved by ECMK"; "This course awards 3 CPD credits" etc...)?

No.

Is there a cost for submitting course material for review?

No.

How long does the review take?

2 weeks.

Do you advise how much CPD credit will be awarded (if you approve the course)?

Yes.

Who should course providers contact to submit their proposed material?

Accreditation Manager

CPD scope

Are you particularly focused on a particular range of topics DEAs can study, or would you consider periphery subjects like business development, accounting, and internet marketing, for example?

We ask that all training reflect the National Occupational Standards.

Open standard

Would you support an open standard amongst accreditation schemes whereby a course acceptable to one, would be acceptable to all?

Yes.

Please could you confirm how many hours CPD is required by me. I am a chartered surveyor who has to comply with the RICS CPD requirements as well and I qualified as a DEA last August at which time I became accredited with ECMK. I note from one of the questions above that I may not need to carry out the full 16 hours in this my first year after undertaking all of the training to qualify. Is this the case ? Please could you email me to confirm the requirement.
Thank you.

Hi

This information is a bit out of date. You only need 10 hours for the first strand, and then 5 hours for each subsequent strand of the EPBD.

kind regards
Gerry
