IS CIHT RIGHT FOR YOU?

CIHT brings together professionals who build, maintain, operate, design and plan transportation

networks, particularly roads. Our members work in contracting, supply, consultancy, localgovernment, central government and academia what they all have in common is a desire

to meet societys need for sustainable and safe transportation systems and for protecting

the environment.

Whether you are a student or a company director, CIHT has a place for you and a

commitment to fulfilling your professional development needs throughout your career.

Please refer to the Institutions diversity policy on www.ciht.org.uk

NETWORKING

Branches joining CIHT gives you membership of your local branch. There are 18 branches throughout the UK,

and several in the rest of the world, and each branch organises regular meetings and seminars. High profile speakers

often address these events and they provide a convenient means for gaining continuing professional development

(CPD) experience, updating knowledge and networking with colleagues.

Each branch also holds at least one annual social event. These events are well attended by members and

local industry figures, and provide a chance for you to relax and meet fellow professionals in an enjoyable

social atmosphere.

Getting involved CIHT can only provide a strong and informed voice if it represents views from the frontline. We

therefore provide opportunities for members to participate in the running of CIHT at Council, board and branch levels.

that individuals and employers are usually the best judge of their CPD

needs and of the value of CPD activities they have undertaken. To this end,

CIHT stipulates quality and relevance as the key criteria for undertaking

CPD, rather than mere quantity. Members are obliged to remain competent

and up to date by undertaking the CPD activity that best meets their

development needs.
