Learning Day – International Certificate in Place Management, London
Starts: 9.30am (0930) Wednesday 16th June in
Westminster (venue to be advised to those who register)
Finishes: Approximately 4.30pm (1630 hours) leaving ample time
to return to central London hotels before attending the Opening
Reception for the World Congress.
The 5th World Congress organised by the Association of Town
Centre Management and The International Downtown
Association is the first ever event to offer an integrated
International Certificate in Place Management from the Institute of
Place Management (IPM).
The International Certificate is worth 20 credits towards the 180
required for a Masters in Place Management offered through Distance
Learning by Manchester Metropolitan University and the Institute of
Place Management. The World Congress in June 2010 will be the first
to host this unique qualification, which is not available
anywhere else!
The International Certificate has been designed around the World
Congress main programme and all students will be required to
register for and attend the World Congress itself. In addition,
they will be required to register directly with the Institute of
Place Management and attend this one-day lecture programme on
Wednesday 16th June in central London, attend one 'surgery' session
during the Congress proper, and submit a 3,000 word assignment
after the programme which will be based on work in their own
downtown, town or city centre.
The International Certificate topic is "Global Scanning, Local
Planning" and will examine key global trends that are affecting or
will affect downtowns, town and city centres and then require you
to research and assess their impact on your location and to propose
appropriate responses. This will form the topic for your submitted
assignment.
The International Certificate programme will be led by Professor
Cathy Parker and include contributions from other leading academics
and practitioners.
The Learning Day will introduce you to methods for gathering
intelligence and data, frameworks for the analysis of emerging
trends and a variety of strategic responses appropriate to the
development of places.
All delegates registering for the International Certificate will
be entitled to Distance Learning support during completion of their
assignment and will also be automatically enrolled as an Associate
of the Institute of Place Management for a 12 month period (you may
be entitled to a higher level of membership but this will require
assessment).
Cost per person: Registration for the
International Certificate costs £340 in addition to your
World Congress fee. This includes all course content,
delivery and assessment. Should you opt to continue your studies
through enrolling for the full Masters programme, you will be
entitled to a discount on the course fee. To register for the
International Certificate please follow this link (please note your
payment for this will be to the Institute of Place Management and
