CEng Application - Training / CPD

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

  • Training is CPD, but not all CPD is training.  You can put any sort of learning into CPD, such as reading E&T magazine, attending a talk on a new technology or reading a textbook.  Training is more organised courses, usually with a test and a certificate at the end.


    The people assessing you for CEng really don't want to know every magazine article or technical presentation you've seen over the past few years.  They do want to know about relevant training courses you've attended if it shows that you are qualified to be a CEng.
