Event registration and CPD

Alex Barrett
Bearing in mind the new CPD recording requirements, and the fact that we enter the number of CPD hours applicable when we enter a new event on the system, shouldn't we tie in registration for an event (and actual attendance) with the career manager record? If I register to attend an event listing 2 hours CPD value, and am ticked off as having attended, it should automatically feed the event title & hours into my Career Manager record.


It would help encourage members to register rather than just turning up on the day. Implementing it would probably blow a few fuses in the IET IT department.


I've just been asked to handwrite & post a CPD certificate, which the recipient will then have to record. Time to get up to date? We are a technology institution, this shouldn't be out of our reach.

    I had always discounted actual 'at work' study although I guess this isn't logical. As a designer the bulk of my job is learning new devices, tools & protocols, so I would imagine I fulfill my annual minimum CPD requirement every couple of weeks. There can't be many engineering jobs that fall under the CPD threshold, and most retired engineers I know take a very keen interest in engineering & technology.  I am out of touch with current Career Manager (and it was "closed for maintenance" last night when we wanted to discuss it in committee) but I'm not confident the uptake will be large. I think automatically feeding Career Manager CPD from registered event attendance would help both event numbers and Career Manager uptake.
