All members are obliged to sustain professional competence in accordance with the fundamental principles of the Code of Ethics. The Institute’s CPD regulations detail the quantum and nature of CPD which is considered necessary for members to undertake.
Renewal of membership serves as formal acknowledgement of compliance with CPD obligations.
CPD Monitoring
The Institute monitors CPD compliance via random and risk-based selection, across its membership population. If selected for CPD review, members are required to submit records of CPD undertaken during the relevant period.
CPD Requirements and Approaches
CPD may be pursued through three approaches:
- Input-based: Focuses on completing a set amount of learning activities.
- Output-based: Emphasizes demonstrated outcomes that reflect maintained competence.
- Combination: Integrates both input and output methods, balancing activity levels with measurable results.
Further information regarding the CPD monitoring process and requirements can be found at Support & Guidance – Continuing Professional Development
