CPD for retired registrants

Andy Millar
Hi,


This old chestnut came up yet again at our LN AGM yesterday, I just wondered if anyone - including CPD assessors - had any good suggestions of likely but perhaps not obvious CPD activities that retired members should consider claiming if asked?


The chap who started the discussion does voluntary work refurbishing old pieces of equipment for a heritage railway - which often involves him having to work out how they are supposed to work first! - and also edits a local classic car club newsletter. I assured him that he at least wouldn't have a problem! But it's interesting that he felt concerned enough to ask.


Cheers,


Andy

    But of course what prompted all this was missives from the IET appearing to say that if we couldn't prove CPD on demand we'd be marched into a hollow square and have our swords broken and our buttons cut off! And retired members (and working members!) are feeling rather twitchy about this - which I really don't think (mostly) they need to.


    So pulling bits of the above together, is it that retired members are expected to show a nominal 10 hours per year if asked? Which practically is going to be from "leisure" activities for most retired members.


    Thanks,


    Andy
