2. A new Hobby….
Chasing moving goal-posts!
Stop!

3. Essential to: Follow the news – especially Educational news
Get industry and professional body updates (including CMI)
Share with each other
Look on the government web site
Don’t download a document once and expect it to stay the same!

4. Fortunately not needed…
Any major changes
to the CMDA programme itself
to our good working relationship with CMI

5. We are learning where employers can need advice…e.g....
The levy amount is decided from whole UK PAYE, but UK-wide employers draw down funding for their employees in England, and need to look separately at provision in Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
About 20% off the job
what it means,
how much time is needed directly (for visits, webinars, exams, etc)
when it is most useful
what influences employment contracts may have
