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'd like to make it clear that none of the CPD assessors are there to judge anyone. Yes, as engineers, we make a judgement (to the best of our ability) as to whether we believe the CPD is the best the individual candidate could do, and then try to provide helpful suggestions where we think it could be better reported or reflected. In my experience it is reflection that appears to be where most people might be able to improve. It is a skill like anything else and, I believe, a valuable one.

    It is well worth making that CPD declaration, even without being asked.
