CPD
Continuing professional development
Staying current is part of the standard.
What counts as CPD
Any structured or self-directed activity that maintains or develops your competence in your domain: formal training and qualifications, conferences and webinars, research and writing, mentoring and assessing, standards work, and reflective practice. The CPD Policy sets out the detail.

Recording and evidence
Members record CPD in the member area, attach evidence, and see their progress against the annual expectation.
IIoET content counts
Reading and discussing Journal papers, attending or watching IIoET webinars and events, writing for the Journal or Insights, and reviewing papers all count towards your CPD.
Audit and sampling
Each year a sample of members is asked to provide evidence for the CPD they have recorded, as described in the CPD Policy.
