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.

    Alasdair,

    However equally we do need to make sure people are clear that they don't have to use Career Manager to meet UKSpec - there does seem to be considerable misunderstanding about this. I'm in the middle (as ever!), I found it ok to use when I tried as a test, but I don't actually use it. I think it's horses for courses.




    Andy,

    I didn't mean to imply that Career Manager was obligatory, but re-reading my post.....

    I fully agree. It wasn't so much the use of Career Manager itself but the formal recording I was thinking about. I was thinking more of the need for a record of what CPD has been done and a reflection of its value, which I agree can be in the format that is most comfortable for the individual. What I wanted to avoid was the question "How do you record it in Career Manager?....What do you mean you don't use CM?"  For most people I would disagree with Roy P's approach as trying to make a record retrospectively as evidence generally doesn't work but in his case with the fact that he formally records everything he does anyway I can certainly see that there is less need to have duplication of records (in fact, probably a waste of time).
