The CPD Scheme
The Worshipful Company of Environmental Cleaners (WCEC) is committed to raising standards within the Cleaning and Support Services profession, and encourages everyone working in the industry to actively develop their knowledge, competence and expertise. Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an essential way to keep up-to-date with the latest issues and developments in the Cleaning and Support services arena; giving those who participate in the scheme a competitive edge over other practitioners and enhancing confidence and competence.
The CPD Toolkit is a self-administered method of identifying and recording learning. You are challenged to achieve a minimum level of achievement over a set period of time.
