The BPMA are now offering its members 1 free place on the BPMA Professional Development Programme upon membership renewal.
This allows 1 person within the company (who is not already registered on the programme) access to the online platform until the membership expiry date; a saving of £100+ VAT per annum.

The Professional Development Programme is designed to empower students and promotes best practice within the industry. The Programme offers a three tiered continuous learning platform, catering for all levels of experience within the promotional products industry. From new starters to experienced industry professionals.

The programme offers 14 subject categories, where there are over 60 videos supported by short PDF reading material available for delegates to study from. Whilst there will be some mandatory content, delegates will be expected to study at each level. The BPMA Professional Development Programme allows delegates to pick and choose videos and topics they want to study, tailoring their own Professional Development Journey. The more credits gained, the closer the delegates are to taking an online exam and achieving 1 of the 3 qualifications. This flexible programme allows delegates to study at a time to suit them and for as long as they want.

Typically, a delegate studying at TPM level committing to one hour study a week can achieve the TPM qualification within 3 – 6 months.
Whilst the place is free, the exams are chargeable. A TPM exam is charged at just £50+ VAT. On passing the exam, the delegate is rewarded a logo to use for email signatures, business cards etc and they can use the letters TPM after their name.

The 14 Categories are:
