Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an essential component of your career growth and development. It’s a structured approach to learning that ensures you stay current in your field, enhance your skills, and remain at the forefront of industry trends and best practices.

For some certifications, completing specific CPD hours every 12 months is necessary to keep your certificate valid. You can find more details in the certification requirements.

To gain maximum value from your CPD activity, we recommend considering:

• What is the relevance of the activity to your current and/or future role?
• What are the intended learning outcomes?
• What benefits will be gained for you, your employer, your staff, or your clients?
• Are there long-term benefits to undertaking the activity?

Any activity that increases your knowledge, skills, and ability to do your job can be included as CPD. This ensures CPD is relevant to your field of work and career plan.

Here are some examples of the types of CPD activities you can record:

• Attend Events: Conferences, seminars, workshops, training courses, and professional meetings relevant to your field.
• Online Learning: Webinars, forums, and e-learning courses tailored to your industry.
• Knowledge Sharing: Publish articles, teach, present at conferences, or participate in committee work within professional associations.
• Employment Development: On-the-job experiences, projects, and responsibilities can also contribute to your CPD.

The CPD Log is the best way to maintain a record of your CPD activities and track your progress:

• CPD Log: Maintain a record of your activities, including dates, hours, and a brief description.
• Certificates and Documentation: Keep certificates and other supporting documents as evidence of your CPD efforts.
