CPD monitoring 2019-2020

5% of members will be contacted in October.

CIAT's members (excluding student members) are required to undertake a minimum of 35 hours of CPD per annum. Each year, 5% of eligible members are selected for CPD monitoring to ensure they are in compliance.

The Institute's Code of Conduct states the following:

Clause A7: Continuing Professional Development
The members (excluding student members) shall:
A7a) keep themselves informed of current practices and developments appropriate to the type and level of their responsibilities; and
A7b) be able to provide evidence that they have complied with the requirements for continuing professional development (CPD) as published by the Institute from time to time.

Clause B7: Continuing Professional Development
Affiliates shall:
B7a) keep themselves informed of current practices and developments appropriate to the type and level of their responsibilities; and
B7b) be able to provide evidence that they have complied with the requirements for continuing professional development (CPD) as published by the Institute from to time to time.

The CPD monitoring requests for 2019-2020 will be sent out on 1 October 2020 to those members who have been selected, asking for declaration that confirms the required CPD hours were undertaken.

As per the Institute's policy, failure to forward your declaration could result in you being monitored on your CPD activity for the next three years, or referral to the Conduct Committee for consideration, or investigation as per the Institute's Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures.

To support its members, the Institute offers an online platform to find relevant courses to support their professional development. The AT CPD Register is an online directory of providers and their courses which have been deemed to be of a high standard, current and relevant to Architectural Technology professionals, and can be accessed here.

Members are able to maintain and update their individual CPD activity via the 'My CPD' section in the Member's Area of the website. Each activity can be logged, and any associated files uploaded with a time tracker to assist in calculating the number of hours undertaken. Members can access it here.

Please note that you do not need to provide any evidence of what CPD you have done between 1 May 2019 and 30 April 2020 – this information is for your use and retention only.
