Subject knowledge CPD

Learning about your specialist field, such as law or engineering, counts as CPD even if the course isn't about translation.

Example

A legal translator taking a short course in contract law can count it as structured CPD.

Good to know

• You can log CPD on the go with the SFTI members' app, available for iPhone and Android.
• If you're unsure whether something counts, log it with a note; reviewers can query it.
• The CPD log locks on 30 September. Activities after that go into the next year.
