Once CPD has been Awarded

Invoices will be sent on approval of CPD. You will receive a confirmation email outlining the number of points awarded and including a jpg of the FSEM CPD Awarded logo which you can use on your publicity material and certificates. 

When promoting your course, please use the wording ‘FSEM UK CPD awarded‘ alongside the logo. Please ensure invoices are paid in full before displaying our logo.

Please do not use the words FSEM ‘endorsed’ or ‘approved’ – the Faculty does not endorse or approve the content of courses and conferences not run by FSEM.
