Development Action Plan Examples

Can anyone point me in the direction of an example Development Action Plan?

I have been working on professional registration for 6 months and after 2 months of silence, I have now been told my application is held pending a revised development action plan. Unfortunately, there has been no explanation of the deficiency in the existing plan.

  • Hi Richard, we don't have examples specifically, but if you want to drop me an email at: profdev@theiet.org I can send you some guidance.

    Really what they are looking for is a forward plan of what you are going to do to maintain your CPD, and how you plan to keep your knowledge and skills up to date should you be awarded professional registration in the short to medium term (i'd say 3-5 years).

    It is about identifying and prioritising your development needs and opportunities. For example, you may wish to move into engineering management, this may require you to gain an MBA. Your DAP should identify a blend of learning, from different learning ways, including work-based learning, across the competence and commitment areas (a mix of technical, management and personal development training, plus that specific to demonstrating a professional commitment, like safety training or training in engineering ethics.

    It is also about updating particular areas of competence, so that as a practicing engineer you are fully in line with the current requirements, development of personal and management skills and broadening of experience leading to new career opportunities.
