The window to submit your 2016 CPD returns opened on 3rd January 2017.
Since we opened the window for CPD returns, there have been a few people asking questions about the differences between IPD and CPD and what can be counted as CPD. The answer is really that any development you are doing, be that working toward professional registration (generally considered Initial Professional Development or IPD) or wider career development (generally considered to be Continuing Professional Development or CPD), any completed activities can be recorded on Career Manager as CPD Activities, and any future plans you have can be recorded as either mapped UK-SPEC or CPD Objectives with planned actions against them.
As a Professional Development Community Member, we hope that you've already discovered the benefits of Career Manager, but there are online films or quick guides to help you. You can also follow the onscreen guidance as like professional registration, the CPD Declaration page also has a helpful checklist to ensure you complete all the relevant areas.
You can submit your CPD return via Career Manager.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at: profdev@theiet.org with questions about IPD or contact the team at: cpd@theiet.org if you need guidance on submitting your CPD return.
