How to record CPD

You must keep a record of activities to facilitate your reflective practice discussions but this can be in whatever form you choose. 

You no longer have to submit the record to the IFoA every year or use the IFoA’s recording system. If selected for a reflective practices discussion with the IFoA, you will be asked to provide your record to the IFoA team in advance. This is simply to inform the discussion.

The CPD recording sytem is still available for those that would like to continue using it. It has been updated to reflect the requirments of the new Scheme and allows you to record your objectives, activities and learning outcomes.

Evidence of participation in a CPD activity will not be required.
