CPD Sessions About Archaeology
Archaeology can seem like a totally obscure aspect of a development, difficult to plan or budget for. The place of archaeology & built heritage in the planning process can appear complicated and what is required to satisfy archaeological planning conditions can be confusing, especially to those not dealing with them on a regular basis.
Our CPD sessions are created to enable you and your team to plan effectively for archaeological issues and minimise risk to your budget and timetable from archaeology.
If incorporated into the project design at an early stage, there are ways to limit the impact of archaeology and historic buildings requirements. With an understanding of what archaeologists need to do on and off site, site managers have a better chance to develop an efficient scheme of works, right at the start.
What do we offer?
L – P : Archaeology offer a range of CPD sessions – the only sessions of their kind in the industry – presented by our experienced project managers and specialists.
The sessions can be used as training for the CPD requirements of your professional body and are suitable for all project staff dealing with planning, ground works, sub-contracting or management, including: town planners, architects, quantity surveyors, regional, site or project managers and their teams.
Short Presentations
Between 20 minutes and one hour in length, they are free, and we travel to you. Attendees can number from 1 to 20. Past recipients have arranged for sessions to be held during a lunch hour, at project meetings and at the end of an AGM. The Short Presentation is in powerpoint, so a digital data projector is normally required.
Training Days
Full- or half- day sessions can also be organised, subject to a fee. Training Days incorporate presentations and interactive archaeological experience, with local council archaeologists invited to join in where possible.
Presentation Topics
Our presentations are tailored to fit your needs, and can include discussion of any aspect of archaeology or heritage, including: industrial, historic & listed buildings, scheduled monuments, Environmental Impact Assessment, or to answer questions related to a specific project.
