Only  you and/or your employer can determine what development activity is relevant to you. We encourage you to use the online planner to look forward and emphasise objectives that will aid career development. This will also highlight the subsequent learning/training activity that must be undertaken in order to achieve those objectives. The online tool also provides example CPD records which can be used as reference guides.

The online planner provides you with an opportunity to consider development in the key critical areas of technical knowledge, business knowledge/skill and interpersonal skills. Consider how you will maintain your levels of competence and those elements which you feel will develop other skills you see as necessary to contribute to your professional development. One of the important features of the CII’s CPD scheme is the requirement to evaluate whether the objective has been met in relation to the development need. This involves reflecting on the outcome(s) and summarising for each of the activities undertaken.
