CISI Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
The CISI CPD Scheme has been introduced to enable members to demonstrate their ongoing commitment to continuing professional development to both their employer and the relevant regulator.
It has been designed to ensure that all members, regardless of seniority, geographical location and industry specialisation, are capable of completing the scheme. It is free of charge for members to use and usage is on a voluntary basis. All grades of membership may access the scheme.
The Institute recommends that members complete a minimum of 35 CPD hours a year with at least one hour being undertaken in each learning type category outlined below. Members may log more hours if desired, but these will not count towards the 35 hour total. Upon completion, members will receive a formal certificate.
