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.

    I find it most useful to do that reflection ASAP after the event. Much of the "emotion" (probably wrong word) of the event generally ends up in my short term memory in my experience, so a couple of sentences that record this is very useful.


    Simon, I bet you do a lot more CPD than you think! Think TWAVES:
    Training - formal training is the most obvious type of CPD.
    Work Experience - the everyday things you do as part of your job that make you grow. This adds up!
    Academic Study - I've not done this for a long time myself.
    Volunteering - my biggest CPD category.
    Events & Seminars - think wide
    Self study. Remember to record all that research activity you do when you use a new component, piece of data, idea, bit of technology etc etc.


    Regarding the new scientist articles, I'd personally record these as just one entry; 12 monthly publications, average of a 20 mins each is 4 hours CPD.


    On average, actively engaged engineers find they are completing enough CPD each year to make 3 figures.
