Recording your CPD activities is a way to help demonstrate your competence to practice, by illustrating how you have ensured that your skills and knowledge have been kept up-to-date. It also offers the opportunity to define and track that you are meeting your individual career aspirations.
CIHT Learn is directly linked to your CPD record and is a great new tool designed to help you identify, plan, undertake and record your required CPD activities.
The new CPD Guide is designed to make your CPD journey more convenient and accessible. It provides advice and guidance on what is expected of you as a CIHT member, how to plan, record and reflect on your CPD, and the support available from CIHT. This guide also sets out the new expectation that all CIHT members should focus some of their CPD on decarbonisation from January 2023.
Your CPD activities should be recorded from 1st January until 31st December each year. You can record your CPD in any form you choose and supplement your records with supporting documents. CIHT recommend that our members should hold CPD records for at least 6 years to help you to continuously reflect, plan, act, record and reflect again upon your CPD activities and the development these activates offer you.
CIHT Learn is our new digital learning platform, created to help you progress and succeed in your highways, transport and infrastructure career. Designed to deliver the insights you need, when you need them, CIHT Learn is about to make learning a lot easier and more convenient for you.
CIHT Learn is linked directly to recording and reflecting on your CPD record as well as creating your own SWOT analysis and Professional Development Plan. CIHT Learn – try it today.
A random sample of members are chosen from CIHT's Membership base to take part in our annual CPD Review. Some members will have their CPD records reviewed by members of our CPD Panel and a percentage of those will be professional registrants. If a member does not respond to a CPD audit request, this can constitute non-compliance with CIHT’s Code of Conduct, which could result in suspension of membership and loss of professional registration.
Those members exempt from the annual review are: Honorary Fellows, Retired Members and members who are undertaking full-time or part time study which leads to a relevant qualification. Retired Members involved in CIHT’s governance structure (i.e., Council, Boards, Panels, Committees and professional reviewers) are considered professionally active and may be invited to submit current evidence of undertaking CPD.
