Mentor proud to announce CPD accreditation on all courses

Mentor Media Training is delighted to announce that it has been awarded CPD Accreditation Centre status.

It means that all our courses will now carry points for Continuing Professional Development – a major boost in supporting our clients’ and delegates’ annual cycles of self-improvement.

The accreditation, from The CPD Standards Office, makes Mentor the only UK media training provider to offer CPD points across an entire suite of courses from media awareness to advanced media training, presentation skills, crisis and social media training/simulation.

For full details, contact the office or see our website;

Your team members can receive 5 or 10 points for half and full day courses, one-to-one coaching, online open courses and wider group seminar events.

Communications professionals undertaking their CPD year with either the CIPR or PRCA will be able to attend our events and ‘custom’ log these training activities.
