Acquiring a Chartered Qualification in Transport Planning DUB07122021

Led by CIHT Dubai, this webinar will look at the Chartered Transport Planning qualification and the benefits of this qualification for members based outside of the UK.

For those joining from the UAE this event will begin at 18:00.

Overview

The Transport Planning Professional (TPP) qualification was developed by the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) and the Transport Planning Society (TPS). It enhances the standing of transport planning as a career and acknowledges transport planners as respected professionals, whilst encouraging the development of the skills and competencies needed to tackle the major challenges facing the transport sector.

Once candidates have successfully completed the TPP assessment they can apply for Chartered status.

The TPP began in the UK but is internationally recognised. This seminar will provide an overview of what is required to becoming TPP qualified, and the necessary preparation required. It is an opportunity to engage in an interactive discussion with reviewers, mentors, and other candidates in their journey via the different routes. If you are a transport planner and have been thinking about getting professionally qualified, why not check out this evening seminar. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and network with others on the same journey as you.

There will be time for Q&A at the end so please come with your queries on how you would like to progress your professional development and the support you need.
