Continuing professional development (CPD) is the responsibility of all professionals working in the historic environment. More information is available from the Institute of Field Archaeologists (IFA) and the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC).
- An annual programme of short courses in partnership with Oxford University Department of Continuing Education for historic environment practitioners and postgraduate students. The Courses are designed by English Heritage in association with the Archaeology Training Forum (ATF), the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) and the Institute of Field Archaeologists (IFA).
- This residential course, endorsed by English Heritage and the Institute of Highways Incorporated Engineers, brings together urban designers and highways engineers to demonstrate how the disciplines can be combined to produce outstanding public realm design.
- This three-day intensive Summer School is designed to introduce the range of measured survey techniques currently available and to provide participants with both theoretical and practical instruction, focussing on the production of scaled drawings of selected buildings in the gardens at Wrest Park.
- English Heritage has now launched the Historic Enivironment Traineeship (HET) Scheme. The first Trainees started work with English Heritage in October 2008 and have been placed within our regional teams across the country. They will gain experience in the application of professional conservation management skills in a planning and development context.
- In collaboration with other English Heritage specialists, over 90 free regional courses have been presented during the last 7 years, attended by more than 2500 people. Subjects covered have included scientific dating, geophysics, ancient technology, faunal remains, archaeobotany, geoarchaeology, ceramics analysis and artefact conservation. These provide up-to-date best practice guidance to regional archaeologists using local examples wherever possible. RSAs also teach in universities, educating future archaeological scientists.
