Continuing Professional Development for CIBD Members
How much CPD do I have to do?
There are no fixed requirements and there is not one size fits all, but on average most membership bodies require a minimum of 30 hours per year for professional development. We are confident that most members are already doing this, e.g. going to a Section event and reading the BDI. Everyone learns in different ways and it is best practice to always allow time for reflection.
