Event registration and CPD

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.

    That's an interesting idea. As a "technology institution" I'd like to see  us offering exemplary online services, and if we have access to some native talent to help us achieve that, all the better. I have a suspicion as to the reception this idea will receive.



    The IET can't even get logging in to the site working properly - it usually takes two attempts, and I frequently find cases where one bit of the web site thinks I'm logged in, while another thinks I'm not.


    The odds of getting the booking process for local group events successfully linked to CPD seem pretty slim.
