cpd25's programme of ten two-hour workshops is devised primarily to support CILIP Chartership and ACLIP candidates. However, many of the events in the programme are highly relevant to staff working as Library Assistants, Senior Library Assistants and so on. The events are aimed, therefore, at all levels of library staff - who may or may not be seeking Certification or Chartership, but who wish to further their professional skills and development.

Places are available on either the whole series (£160 for cpd25 members, £240 for external organisations) or for individual workshops (£30 for cpd25 members, £50 otherwise).

The event reference number for booking a place on the whole series is TG1/QSALL. Please refer to each workshop's individual description for their individual event reference numbers.

Speakers: Ella Mitchell, Cath Johnson and Kelly Travers from the University of East London.
