West Dean College's building conservation courses have been accredited by an English Heritage panel and are run in conjunction with the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum. In addition, the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has approved West Dean as one of its official CPD providers. West Dean courses are worth double CPD points to RIBA members. The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) approves West Dean's building conservation courses, many of which are eligible for CITB grants. Many members of the Institute of Conservation (ICON) find that West Dean courses are an invaluable contribution towards meeting the learning objectives they set themselves as part of the process of continuing professional development. West Dean College is able to design and tailor specific conservation short courses for organisations on request.
