Continuing professional development (CPD)

Step 3 – Continuing professional development (CPD)

One of the requirements for election to Fellowship is the completion of three years’ Continuing professional development (CPD). You will be sent CPD guidance notes which contain further information on CPD. Record sheets are contained within those guidance notes, which can be used to document your CPD or you are able to use our CPD easy online system to record and submit your CPD logs. Regardless of the date you enrol onto the Fellowship programme, you will be able to backdate CPD records to the date you become an Associate of the CII, enabling you to apply for election to Fellowship three years thereafter.

If you are recording CPD under a CII CPD scheme, this will be accepted towards your Fellowship commitment. If you have recorded CPD activities under another CPD scheme, it is possible that you may be able to use these records towards your Fellowship commitment. For further advice please contact Customer Service on 020 8989 8464.

Your CPD record will be requested at some point between enrolment and application for election to Fellowship. If your CPD records have not been requested by the CII when you are ready to submit your application for election to Fellowship, you should submit them for assessment with your application. The CII will confirm in writing if your CPD record meets the requirements of the CII scheme.

If you have been given a dispensation from completing CPD records under the CII CPD scheme, please contact the FAS to find out whether you will be required to submit evidence of three years’ CPD to be able to progress to Fellowship.
