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?

  • I get involved in various technical IET webinars (I found them very useful) or in campus ( London or Guildford ) when I spare time. There are many CPD webinars not related directly to technical as   said , so you can complete more of these online i.e designs , robotics, aerospace etc. I think the in-house training courses gives you a chance to gather like 2 full days CPD hours which is great , and from the other hand you got loads of 1 hour free webinars to follow when your availability allows. Is a challenge to gather them CPD hours when you need to keep up with the busy lifestyle.

    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

      

  • What about listening to industry podcasts during your commute to work?

  • Most of mine is volunteering!

    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.
