Continuing Professional Training

Those who have a couple of years practical experience and who may have undertaken the Introductory Course early in their career will inevitably assume new responsibilities or change direction and so be required to perform tasks that need them to have additional knowledge. The TOPRA CRED Programme and PRA Workshop are designed to meet this need.

The CRED Programme

The programme comprises of a series of one-day interactive workshops, run over a two-year cycle, and offers:

Structured, but flexible, continuing regulatory education – allowing regulatory professionals to design training programmes to suit individual needs.
A choice of sixteen interactive workshops, covering eight core topics, run over a two-year cycle – providing regulatory professionals the opportunity to build up a dossier of training demonstrating technical and practical knowledge in all the key areas of their day-to-day work.
A balance of theory and practice – helping equip participants with practical skills that can be applied immediately.
Speakers drawn from both regulatory agencies and industry – providing participants with different perspectives.
Interactive sessions (often case study base) – ideas and experience between participants and speakers and a chance to address common problems faced in everyday situations.

Each workshop is detailed in an annual CRED prospectus – designed to help regulatory professionals and their managers build individual training plans.

The Discount Scheme

Do you offer any discount schemes? Yes! For each full price CRED workshop that you attend you will be given a 'CREDit' voucher for a 25% discount against the full registration fee for any other one-day CRED workshop in the CRED series. So for every two CRED workshops that you attend one will be discounted. As the two-day meeting price already includes the discount, CREDit vouchers are not applicable to these meetings.

Only one ‘CREDit’ can be used against each full-price registration fee. Where applicable, the ‘CREDit’ voucher will be issued to the delegate registered for the full-price meeting when he or she attends that meeting.There is no time limit for using your ‘CREDit’. ‘CREDits’ are not transferable – they are specific to the named delegate. In addition to the 'CREDit' scheme, discounts can be made available to companies that block-book a number of delegate places, providing an extra opportunity for companies to make their training budget go further. For example, for a guaranteed minimum of 15 bookings in a calendar year, you will receive a 30% discount on the published price of each ticket. If you think block-bookings may be of interest to you, please contact the office to see what terms and conditions are available.

If you have a valid ‘CREDit’ please submit it with your booking form. One ‘CREDit’ may be used for each one-day full-price workshop you book for.

If you are booking for more than one CRED workshop at the same time and do not have any valid ‘CREDits’, the full fee for each workshop must be sent in with your booking form. When you attend the first full-price workshop you will be given a ‘CREDit’ which you can then send in to the TOPRA office for a 25% refund on one of the other one-day CRED workshops you have booked for.

TOPRA reserves the right to alter terms and conditions of its discount schemes from time to time
