Register of experts
Next year, CIBSE Certification plans to expand our network of experts to meet increasing demand, and to ensure our experts cover a wider geographical area across the UK. While we are looking to increase the quantity of experts across all specialisms, we particularly want to grow our pool of management system specialists to support our delivery of management system audits.We would appreciate your assistance in promoting our registers and making it the starting point for any organisation looking for experts in building services.
You could help by following CIBSE Certification Ltd on LinkedIn and by recommending the benefits of our schemes to non-registrants.
We are looking for ways to recognise our registrants for both participating in our schemes and for attracting new people to join our register of experts. CIBSE Certification’s “Recommend a Friend Scheme” is now under development and details will be published in our next newsletter.
