Common use of CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AT A SATISFACTORY LEVEL Clause in Contracts

CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AT A SATISFACTORY LEVEL. The nature and extent of the required participation in continuing professional development both before and after entry to a register, and the manner in which compliance is audited, will remain at the discretion of the Authorized Member concerned, but should reflect emerging norms for such participation and should be appropriate to the discipline or disciplines in which the practitioner claims expertise. The focus of CPD should be on actively learning or refreshing of knowledge and skills. Greatest benefit from CPD is normally obtained where the learning outcomes are defined, and the extent to which learning has occurred evaluated at the end of the CPD activity. Nevertheless, valuable learning can occur in a variety of ways and through a wide range of activities. By undertaking a coherent programme of CPD across his or her field of engineering practice of about 50 hours of committed time per year a person would normally be able to maintain the currency of his or her knowledge and skills in the relevant field.
