Accreditation, CPD and Career Progression

Alongside technical training, ISCVE plays an important role in professional recognition and accreditation. ISCVE is an authorised provider of ECS card accreditation and can issue ECS cards directly, offering a straightforward route to recognised industry certification that supports compliance, competence and professional credibility.

Throughout the year, ISCVE delivers a programme of CPD-approved training courses at locations across the UK. These events help professionals maintain and develop their skills while staying aligned with current standards and industry best practice.

For those working in inclusive audio, ISCVE also operates the Assistive Listening Assessor Scheme. Certification as a Hearing Loop Assessor requires completion of ISCVE’s Assistive Listening Technology training, ensuring assessors meet the highest technical and accessibility standards.

Online Learning and Ongoing Support

In addition to face-to-face training, ISCVE offers a growing range of online learning resources covering audio, communications and visual engineering disciplines. These resources support continuous professional development and help individuals and organisations prepare for future challenges within the industry.
