Hi  Neil


The CPD info can be found here.


As Chris states, this has been introduced by the Engineering Council (UK) and we recommend a minimum of 30 hours CPD for professionally active members and PRA volunteers.  This is not really a new thing as maintenance and development of professional knowledge has been written into the Rules of Conduct for over 40 years; the only change is the monitoring of some records.  


There are lots of areas you probably already cover that count as CPD:

If you read an article in E&T magazine, watch a relevant programme on IET.tv or mainstream television, attend a lecture or seminar or give up your time to help young engineers develop, you are undertaking CPD.

The IET categorise CPD activities in to six main categories:

• Training courses;

• Work experience;

• Academic study;

• Volunteering;

• Events and seminars;

• Self-study.

I hope this helps, but if you want to expand your CPD into event or volunteering, you could look at the SSE page for some inspiration.


Thanks
