CPD Declaration Dashboard

Allan Rowan

To satisfy my own curiosity, I recently compared my declared CPD hours with the average CPD hours. For an equivalent Membership Type and EC Type, the average number of CPD hours was 113; however in comparison, the hours I had declared was a paltry 36. I sign up for the seminars and in-house training sessions where my availability allows. My question, borne out of curiosity; what is everyone else doing (which I'm not) to achieve an average of 113 hours within their declared CPD?

    You CPD does not have to be entirely on the job, and not necessarily within engineering as you can do CPD in many different ways.

    And to look at it the other way around, you're probably not counting all the on the job CPD you are doing. Every new project that's slightly different, every client / customer who has slightly different requirements, let alone every new bit of technology where you have to read the manual, it's all CPD

    Thanks Mark, hadn't really given much thought with reference to volunteering counting towards the CPD hours.

    I tend to find it very difficult to capture on the job training, but as you correctly say, it would probably add up to many hours. Even on a long term project, there is often something new to look at, or a potential process improvement to make (because processes always need refinement).

    But it is remembering to capture those hours which is often the challenge. And often I get stuck on the "well, I'm only doing my day job" aspect.
