Is 30 hours of CPD easily reached?

Do you think that accumulating CPD across the IET’s six categories of activities – training, work experience, academic study, volunteering, events and seminars, and self-study (e.g. reading a technical book or article) – would enable you to easily build up 30 hours of CPD each year?

    tricky - companies such as mine don't /can't invest in training (affordability), don't generally support attendance at seminars etc, are not into academic stuff, which effectively leaves IET vounteering and self study as the only methods open in my individual case. That's going to be very lop-sided.



    This is perhaps one reason why mandated CPD is going to be a challenge as companies have had a free ride so far, and aren't likely to change this attitude in the short term
