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?

    Caroline, thank you.



    I'm also a member of BCS so have to record my CPD for that.  I've been transferring my CPD record over to Career Manager.  One of the things that worries me somewhat is that the bulk of my CPD is self study is quite 'businessey' (a lot of stuff around business process, project management, Lean &c).  I'm a Requirements Analyst (really a Business Analyst but our main customer thinks they know what that is but their idea is closer to a subject matter expert) which I would argue is an engineering type role but someone else may look at my CPD and think it's more suited to CMI than IET.  This relates, I think, to the root of some of the discussions I've seen in some forums of this site about "What is an engineer?"
