Attendance Certificates

Attendance certificates are available for ICE Essex Branch events.

Please indicate on the meeting attendance sheet if you would like one.

Please note these are not CPD certificates. Attendance at events can count toward CPD – delegates should check their individual scheme requirement.

Promote Civil Engineering

Why not earn some enhanced CPD credit by doing a short write-up of an evening lecture, site visit or other event you have attended.

Even better - why not write a blog about it and share it with the wider community.
