  • those changing career or seeking career advancement
  • new practitioners who want to learn about the conference and events industry
  • organizations who want to improve the skills of their staff
  • members wanting to achieve industry Accreditation with the PCO's CEM program
We offer flexible delivery options. You can choose to:
  • Send your staff to PCO Association training seminars held throughout the year, and in conjunction with the annual National Conference

Recognition of Prior Learning
The PCO Association recognizes that the majority of our members have industry experience, knowledge and skills which should be recognized towards a formal qualification. We therefore offer you the opportunity to apply for Recognition of Prior Learning assessment to fast track your partial or full qualification.
