You can search on the programme page. If you are unsure of the full title of the programme you wish to apply for, you can search by one key word only.

Please feel free to browse our website so see what is available, however you must register before you can book on a programme.  You must have a valid email address to register and this can be completed on the homepage.  You will not be able to book a programme unless you have registered and have a CEC Account.  Remember to keep your account up-to-date if any of your details change e.g. staff number, employer etc.

Although a work email is preferable, it is not necessary.  You can use your own personal email account to register with us.  If you do not yet have an email address, email accounts can be created easily with various providers, such as Hotmail, Google Mail or Yahoo Mail.

When you login  you will have access to your CEC account where you can update your personal details, if necessary.  You can view your portfolio and also the status of any applications.  It is important to keep your email address and employer details up to date so that CEC can contact you or your employer (if necessary).

You will receive an email thanking you for your application and  a copy  will also be sent to your line manager (where applicable).  If you don’t receive this email, please contact the programme administrator.  Please note that this is not confirmation of your place – we will contact you at a later date regarding your place on the programme.

After the closing date, the administrator will send an email to all applicants informing them if they have a place.  You can also login to your account to check the status of your application.  If the status is “Confirmed” then you are expected to attend on the date outlined.

It could be that the programme was oversubscribed or that you are not eligible to attend.  Please contact the administrator should you have any queries around a declined application.

Please contact the administrator  or email enquiries@cec.hscni.net to cancel your place.  Remember that four clear CEC business days’ notice should be given or you/your organisation will be charged.
