How does IET.tv relate to CPD?
Watching IET.tv videos is one of the many free member benefits that can be used to provide CPD engagement. The Professional Development department has worked with IET.tv to emphasise the value of incorporating watching IET.tv videos within their CPD activities. A huge amount of material is available on the IET.tv platform containing over 8,000 videos, some of which have direct CPD value.
How is CPD shown on IET.tv?
Currently there are over 2,000 videos on IET.tv with the CPD logo, that’s over 1,000 hours of potential CPD. There are 3 main ways to refer to the CPD logo on IET.tv.
1. CPD is accessible from the main drop down menu on the home page https://tv.theiet.org/
2. Videos of 30 minutes or more duration are now tagged with the CPD logo. This serves as a handy reminder to update your CPD records once you have watched the video.
3. CPD is now one of the sub category filters on the site content; we hope this makes it quicker for you to find videos in your area of interest that also has high CPD value.
