Quality Assurance Committee on CPD requirement



Published: 01/11/2018

 



All Engineering Council registrants are committed to maintaining and enhancing their competence, which means undertaking Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

From 1 January 2019, licensed members will be required to sample their registrants’ CPD and sampling activity will become part of the licence review process.
Professionally active registrants who persistently do not respond to or engage with requests for CPD records from their institution risk removal from the Engineering Council Register.

    Many of us (myself included) just try to “play the hand that they are dealt” as best they can.




    Roy (and others),

    I would put myself in that category but the point you didn't make is that by "doing CPD", which as you say is what most of us do anyway, you are better prepared to play the hand and will perform better than someone who doesn't. This will result in recognition and career advancement (as a rule -  I am making quite a generalisation here but it is what happened to me), which will lead on to other things such as Registration, more interesting work, etc., and may be the opportunity for involvement in "innovation".

    I fully agree that totting up CPD points is a very poor solution, but I can also see the problem from the EC point of view where they need some way of confirming CPD and this, while it is a bad arrangement, may be better than no arrangement (perhaps we can discuss this point of view with the Governments Brexit department....)
