Upskilling: The Compulsory Purchase Professional Development Programme
Equipping professionals with essential knowledge and skills in the compulsory purchase sector.
CPT Events have created a series of 10 training modules, comprising lectures and group discussions, which, when combined, form a route to competency in compulsory purchase law and practice for practitioners and professional advisors. The programme is comprehensive, designed to upskill knowledge in CPO law and practice, offering distance learning for those with limited knowledge of, and involvement in, compulsory purchase work. Completing the programme is an easy benefit for employers and a valuable win for employees.

All modules that have taken place are listed below in the programme section with on-demand links.
- 10 virtual modules across 7 months – approximately one session every 3 weeks; held on Mondays starting at 12.00 for 2.5hrs. Sessions will provide additional reading and self-assessments will be offered that can be used to demonstrate acquired knowledge to line managers. In addition organisational systems can be discussed in these 1-2-1 environments. Participants are urged to attend live and actively participate; sessions will be available on demand should work and other commitments arise.
- All sessions work towards an 11th in-person module/workshop comprising case studies and group discussions, led by some of the tutors, followed by a networking session. This workshop will give attendees the opportunity to demonstrate their new skills and further build relationships with peers.
- There is no formal assessment of what is learnt, in a similar way to the provision of CPD events. Candidates should be motivated towards self-learning. Employers and line managers will be the ultimate assessors of the new skills they have achieved. The true value is in the attendee acquiring the knowledge and understanding, becoming more valuable and more dependable to line managers. The reward will manifest in the attendee’s career.
