Recording your CPD
Record your CPD in the online log in your member account. You must complete your log by 30 September each year.
What to record
The date, the activity, the number of hours, whether it was structured, and one or two sentences on what you learned.
Evidence
Keep certificates or notes for 3 years in case you're selected for audit.
Good to know
- Interpreters can count assignment preparation as unstructured CPD, up to 5 hours a year.
- The CPD log locks on 30 September. Activities after that go into the next year.
- A one-hour webinar counts as 1 hour of structured CPD, even if you watch the recording.
