Overview
The CPA Headquarters, together with the Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago, will host the CPA Parliamentary Academy: Advanced Parliamentary Development Residency Programme (Practice & Procedure) for MPs in December 2025.
- The Advanced Parliamentary Development Residency Course is a five day programme designed to enable Members to be better performing legislators, representatives and scrutineers.
- It is important to highlight that the programme will be an intensive schedule and participants must be prepared to commit to the full programme and engage in all agenda items. It is therefore essential that proposed registrants are fully aware of the agenda and timetable.
- The Advanced Parliamentary Development Residency Programme is only open to Members of Parliament who have completed at least the Induction for New Parliamentarians online course, with priority places given to those who have completed the CPA Parliamentary Professional Development Certificate.
This course is intended to complement the online courses within the CPA Parliamentary Academy.
Nomination & Registration
- CPA Branches are able to nominate up to two Members of Parliament to attend this programme.
- The Residency courses are intended to complement the online courses, providing face-to-face interactive learning and knowledge-sharing at a more advanced level.
- Nominations will open shortly.
- Due to a high demand for limited places, any applications received after the stated deadline may be held as a reserve.
