Why am I being monitored for my CPD?
To enable the Institute to uphold that our members have demonstrated their competence to gain as well as maintain their level of membership, it is a requirement that all members (excluding student members) undertake a minimum of 35 hours CPD per annum, as per the Code of Conduct, which states:
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 time to time.
In order for CIAT to be confident in its promotion and in compliance with Institute policy, 5% of eligible members will be randomly selected for CPD monitoring.
Please note you do not need you to return your CPD Record Card — this is for your use and your retention only.
