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?

    I think for most working people 30 CPD is reasonable so long as it encompasses a broad range of type, including self study and attendence at 'talks', as equal.  Insisting on formal training would eliminate many people as employers tend to be loathe to to deliver much by way of training to most employees.  As Alex mentioned employers seem to think that you should come with all the knowledge and experience you need to do your job then fill in any gaps or new development yourself in your own time andf at your own expense.
