My CPD Return has been Not Reviewed

Simon Barker
I got a really strange email from the IET today, saying:

It is our pleasure to confirm that your CPD Return has been Not Reviewed - Completed for Year: 2018



If you have any comments please direct them to  using Career Manager

 



There is some really odd wording in there.  I guess having your CPD return "Not Reviewed" is like the tax man not reviewing your tax return for the year - it's considered a good thing.  Something seems to have gone wrong with the next line, too.  It looks like there is supposed to be some contact information there, that somebody forgot to fill in.


I have seen phishing emails with better grammar than that.

    Hi Simon, I'd be very surprised if work experience alone didn't get you a good way towards 30 hours (that's just the W in the TWAVES mnemonic). Doing something that adds to your knowledge - getting data from the internet, data books or text books for example - it all counts. You have mentioned things that mostly represent just the T (for training).


    Perhaps you are engaged in volunteering - not necessarily engineering based but, if it's something that grows even just your soft skills, it's valuable CPD.


    As engineers, we never stop learning (W & S). Technology is moving at a fantastic rate, so our CPD never stops (or we become unemployed/unemployable). What the IET and Engineering Council are doing is making recording CPD a natural part of your career, giving everyone that really powerful opportunity to continuously reflect on what we have learned.
