What counts as CPD?

Continuing Professional Development for CIBD Members

What counts as CPD?

The CIBD provides members with a variety of CPD opportunities. Most of them will count as CPD unless they are purely social. Our CPD tick logo is an indicator of quality.

CPD includes technical and operational knowledge, core skills and experiences, and behaviours demonstrating good ethics and professionalism. It is up to you and your employer to decide the best CPD for your career.
