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?

    Thing is, anyone gainfully employed in an active engineering capacity will probably engage in an amount of most, if not all, of these six categories.



    If your employer doesn't provide structured training, you can record your self learning as CPD. You must be doing this self improvement or you wouldn't be able to do your job effectively.



    It's a matter of getting into the habit of recording it, and this is where Career Manager v3 works so well because it is so easy to use (unlike version 2 which, in my opinion, was awful!). A real bonus is that, at the end of the year, when it comes to appraisal time, with a click of the mouse you can create a report to show your boss just what you have done!!
