CiLCA Qualification – Ian Hall

Congratulations to Ian Hall, Peterlee Town Clerk, who recently obtained his prestigious CiLCA Qualification

Ian was formally presented with his CiLCA certificate by Councillor David Bell, Chair CDALC Executive Board and Audrey Christie , CDALC Executive Officer on Monday 21st July  at the Town Council Meeting at Shotton Hall. This is a significant achievement for any Town Clerk, taking a considerable amount of time (on top of the day job!), commitment, self-motivation, discipline, and sacrifice .

CiLCA qualified clerks are quite an elite group and particularly those who have achieved the post 2015 qualification when the previous Level 2 (GCSE) course was replaced by a Level 3 (A level standard).

On average about 150 students achieve CiLCA a year and nationally only about 12% of clerks have the Level 3 qualification . Well done Ian!
