FORMATION

 

All training programs offered by the CPM, which are related to the statutory mandate of the committees, do not have to be authorized by the Ministry of Health nor authorized by anyone.

The CPM promotes the professional development of the committees by providing them with practical and useful tools. New tailor-made training programs are being developed, updated and given by our professionals.

The CPM offers its affiliate and affiliate committees the opportunity to receive free training each year (subject to applicable travel and meal expenses).

 

We offer training at a very competitive price.

Work group, flash training for your assemblies and question periods adapted to your needs

Your committee needs a presentation on a subject that is not addressed by our usual training?
Would you like to organize a working session led by a CPM member?
Do you want to boost your annual general meeting by having a speaker?

Know that the CPM can travel to your area to make a more informal presentation or to support your committee in its work on many themes, according to your needs.

For information regarding availability, rates and cancellation policy, please contact the CPM:

All training courses are delivered by Paul G. Brunet, lawyer.
