• CPD Programme Synthesis
• and Scheme of Operation

2
What the CPD Programme is

• It is a registry controlled by the UIA with an
  index of resources, publications and different
  materials for the permanent training of
  architects.
• The specificity of this registry, is that all the
  CPD material included, fulfils the minimum
  requirements of quality (guidelines) approved by
  the UIA Council.

3
The role of the UIA

• The UIA shall not create a CPD system, nor will
  offer directly any kind of training material.
  That is not its purpose.
• The UIA limits itself to providing a full,
  classified information on all the CPD material
  included in the registry, the way in which to
  contact the providers and a description of the
  procedures so that the users may assess it in a
  positive or negative way.

4
The role of the UIA

• The UIA shall not act as intermediary in the
  relations between providers and users and
  therefore the UIA shall not be held responsible
  for these relations.
• The UIA opens the opportunity to the member
  sections to organize their own permanent training
  plans for architects, either by means of already
  existing material, or by means of the demands
  notice board, where they can leave their demands
  on specific courses that they may think are
  necessary for their architects.

5
The role of Member Sections

• UIA member sections should disclose the UIA CPD
  Pprogramme between their architects. All
  available means of communication may be useful to
  that purpose.
• UIA member sections will receive all the
  information needed about the CPD Programme. The
  portal web, originally in English and French,
  will be soon translated to other languages.

6
Economic obligations

• UIA member sections dont have any economic
  obligation as consequence of the UIA CPD
  Programme.
• Only when member sections act as providers of cpd
  material, and want to include that material in
  the quality registry, will pay a fee.
• Fees paid by UIA member sections when they act as
  providers, will be more favorable than those
  charged to regular providers.

7
Economic obligations

• Architects dont pay any fee to the UIA CPD
  Programme, they will only pay the fee that the
  provider charges to anybody for attending their
  cpd material, courses, etc.
• The fee that architects should pay to the
  provider, will be shown in the information given
  by the UIA CPD Programme about all the registered
  material.

8
Structure of the Programme

• The JOC (Joint Oversight Committee) It is a
  committee created within the UIA that as its main
  task is in charge of doing the follow up of the
  programme and the analysis of the proposals and
  strategies for their later debate and the
  reaching of binding agreements by the Council.

9
Structure of the Programme

• The GPO (General Programme Operator) It is the
  operator of the UIA CPD Programme, responsible
  for its correct running. It has a permanent
  relation with the JOC.
• The GPO will be set up as a Spanish trading
  Company with its headquarters in Madrid. The
  CSCAE will be the principal partner, it will put
  at the UIAs disposal a gratis share and it shall
  offer some additional shares to those member
  sections of the UIA that want to participate as
  partners with the operator.

10
Structure of the Programme

• The General Guidelines These are the eleven
  minimum requirements that any training material
  has to fulfil in order to obtain the UIA quality
  label. They have been approved by the UIA Council
  in Vancouver.
• The Guidelines are not static norms and they will
  change and improve with time. All variations will
  have to be approved by the UIA Council.

11
The eleven guidelines

• Do the contents and objectives of the CPD
  material meet the needs of architects in terms of
  Continuous Development?
• Are the training objectives of the CPD material
  best suited to the development of professional
  practice, or to improving the social profile of
  architects?
• Is the CPD material provided generic and non
  marketing oriented?
• Are the contents of the course adequate for the
  professional context in which they are delivered?
  

12
The eleven guidelines

• Is the information provided by the CPD material
  accurate?
• Are there adequate resources to support the
  objectives of the CPD material?
• Are the learning method and the length of the CPD
  material adequate to meet the intended outcomes?
• Would different editions of the same CPD material
  guarantee consistent outcomes for all students?

13
The eleven guidelines

• Is there a provision for learning assessment to
  be carried out by students?
• Is there an assessment method in place, or plans
  to have it in the future?
• Is the CPD material available to a majority of
  architects within the context in which it is
  delivered?
