As we approach the end of 2024, we want to remind all our senior members that to keep your membership active, you will need to complete 25 hours of CPD for 2024 and log it in the CPD recording toolkit on the Membership portal by 31 January 2025.
If you haven’t quite hit the 25-hour mark this year, don’t worry! You can make up the remaining hours in 2025. If you have done CPD through another professional institute and it’s less than 25 hours, you will just need to top it up next year.
