Professional Development Options for Compliance Engineers
Traditionally, the start of a new year is a time when we reflect on the progress we made during the year passed and set our goals for the new year. More often than not, your professional development goals include training or some form of continuing education to expand or refresh your technical knowledge. We’ve queried training resources in our industry to provide you with an overview of free or affordable solutions to meet your training goals in 2018. You’ll find here sources of compliance-related seminars, workshops and other types of training, offered online and on location, public and private.
Please note that all listings are current as of the date we go to press (early December 2017). We invite you to submit updates and corrections, as well as suggestions for additional listings for our events section. Send your comments to us at editor@incompliancemag.com.
