Masterclasses
CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT via NEFF MASTERCLASS
At the NEFF we are continually looking to pursue new ideas and initiatives that ensure we continue to combat fraudulent activity as well as providing the best possible service for our members. It is with this in mind that a new service will be provided to participants at all our Masterclass events aimed at assisting with individual continuous professional development. All attendees at NEFF Masterclasses will receive a certificate of attendance, signed by an authorised official of NEFF outlining the subject matter dealt with on the day. The actual subjects will generally not be accredited as such but could be submitted to relevant professional bodies, as evidence of commitment to self-learning/development.
