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.

    Just to jump in here briefly to say, CPD Assessment is done by a completely different team of volunteers, and the approach is totally different from that used for registration. Yes, we look at whether the reviewee is basing his/her CPD on a broad range of the 17 UK-SPEC competences and the 6 TWAVES categories, because that is generally indicative of a balanced approach. But much more importantly, is the quality of the reflection activity, because that is how you assess the value of your own CPD.


    What I'm saying is that it is much more of a qualitative approach, and no attempt is made to reward points to activities. No one passes or fails at CPD, rather suggestions are given as to how the CPD can perhaps be improved - for the sake of the candidate and ultimately engineering as a whole.


    I record my own CPD on Career Manager and the overhead, including reflection, is 10 minutes a week tops. Easy to use - one thing that always amuses me is that the inbuilt spell checker doesn't recognise either CPD or IET :)
