Do you have CPD feedback?
|
|
Continual Professional Development (CPD) for Certificate of Competence (CoC) holders has now been in place for three years.
The Board is assessing how CPD is working three years on and is seeking industry feedback. Interested parties are asked to submit answers to the following questions by 5 October.
1. Do you understand the CPD requirements?
2. How do you find completing the CPD requirements?
3. How easy do you find it to record your CPD and provide evidence?

Assessment of logbooks
|
|
CoC applications submitted before 1 August this year will be assessed against the requirements set out in the Gazette that were current until 1 August, when the amended Gazette notice took effect.
However, applications sent after 1 August will be assessed against the amended Gazette notice (published 1 August.)
This ensures fairness to applicants.

Reminders

Resit applications
A reminder that if you are submitting an application for a resit you do not need to provide all the documents provided in your original application again.
Applications for a resit should include:
- a new application form
- a completed Fit and Proper form, including a certified copy of a Ministry of Justice criminal records history, if the previous one is more than three months old.
- a certified copy of a first aid certificate if your certificate is due to expire within two months
CPD logbooks
Paper-based CPD logbooks can still be used. Remember to keep all your evidence for formal learning. This will also need to be paper-based.
