The scheme is very flexible and is concerned with the professional career development of members in the broadest sense.

You do not have to provide evidence of the CPD activity you enter on your log, i.e. proof of attendance at a training course. However, members will be required to assess the benefit achieved by them in relation to any activity undertaken and recorded. If you feel that a specific activity has contributed to your professional career development then you can choose to record that activity on your log. It does not have to be insurance, financial services or mortgage related and it can, for example, relate to management development, finance, IT or language training.

You will probably find that some of the activities undertaken during your usual working day can be considered as CPD activity. For example, attending training courses (in-house and external), seminars or conferences, studying for and taking examinations, mentoring and training other colleagues, business development and reading insurance, trade and financial press, could all count as appropriate CPD activity. A more detailed list of authorised activities can be found under CPD authorised activity.
