CEng Application - Training / CPD

ilias

Good evening all,


I hope you are well.


I am currently working on my application for CEng and have a few queries re CPD.


Recording CPD in career manager (CM) works differently to recording CPD in the Training section of the CEng application. Everything recorded in the CEng application is automatically "transferred" to the CPD activities of CM as a training course but this doesn't work vice versa. 


I therefore have the following questions:

  • Does CPD need to be recorded as part of the professional registration? Do we need to record 30 hours? If so, for how many years? If not, is there a minimum or a guidance on what we should record for the application? I am conscious of the space this would take of the total 12 pages.

  • Do we need to submit our CPD declaration before submitting for professional registration? If so, for how many years?



Thank you in advance for your help.


Kind Regards,

Ilias

    Ilias,


    I think I will answer your question by saying that your application does not need to contain the detailed record of your CPD, but it should at least contain a reference to the fact that you do CPD (which is, after all, one of the competences). If the records of CPD are within CM then this will be accessible to the IET. Even if you are recording your CPD elsewhere (i.e. not accessible to the IET) then this record would be something you could take to the interview to show the interviewers if needed.


    Submission of CPD records and/or verification that you are doing CPD is a requirement for maintaining CEng. If you are not yet CEng then it could be argued that it is not required to submit them, but I would point out that if you are in the habit of keeping your CPD records in a form that is not convenient for submission, such as paper copies or even a spreadsheet, then even as CEng you would not be penalised for not submitting them until requested.


    As for how far back you need to keep them, I personally would think that two or three years showing consistent CPD would be acceptable but that is just a guess.
