Important guidance will be provided within the branded ring-binder on what constitutes effective knowledge updates and plastic sleeves will allow certificates to be inserted including a personal learning statement in each instance.

The rules for CPD points per one hour will also be available on the MICE Academy website as a guide to a variety of career qualifications available nationally and internationally.
Academy members and non-members will be kept informed of regular opportunities for growing an effective knowledge base.
The second ring-binder known as MICE Specification Guide – is for all who are planning and organizing any type of MICE undertaking. This ring-binder will provide guidance on all the various documentation that needs to be kept and changed as the planning unfolds. Whether conceptual or logistical, recording of various sub-contractor RFPs, appointed sub-contractors together with the confirmed terms including pictures of decided table dcor, seating arrangements and the like, through to the presenters briefs and chairpersons and MCs duties the guide will be a dynamic reference in which certain sections may be distributed and shown to include the date circulated.
