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'm actually a bit cynical about people claiming CPD for attending an IET evening lecture - we've seen students turn up to them, sit at the back and play with their phones through it, and then ask for a CPD record to be signed off.


    At least we will know they actually attended, which is some degree of verification. We get very few students at our general events, but our events aimed specifically at our universities have been very lively.
