▶Who needs to submit their CPD records?
The Admission, Training and Qualification regulations state that all professionally qualified members of ICE are required to keep a written record of their CPD activities and submit a copy of their CPD record upon request.

However, there are circumstances where the requirement to submit your CPD is waived; for example, if you:
• were on parental leave during the period that you have been asked to demonstrate in your CPD record
• are retired and not an active ICE volunteer, nor undertaking work relevant to your professional qualification, e.g. consultancy work
• have been unemployed for more than six months
• are suffering from any illness or disability which prevents you from undertaking CPD
• are on extended leave

If you feel you may be exempt for any reason outside of those listed above, please contact [email protected] and an ICE member of staff will be happy to advise.
▶How should I record my CPD?
The templates and platforms on which your CPD is planned and recorded is your choice, however ICE strongly recommends that you adopt the templates found within the CPD guidance. This will enable you to better focus the planning, recording and reflection on CPD required to fulfil your role in accordance with the CPD cycle (plan, act, assess, review). If you have regular performance appraisals with your employer, you can use these to monitor your development. If you're self-employed, the CPD process will help you to keep your skills current and to stay competitive in your field.
▶What activities do I need to record?
Anything that has contributed to your learning and development can count towards your CPD including courses, seminars, conferences, reading relevant publications, web-based research, and personal development activities. Please see appendix D of the CPD guidance for examples of development activities.
▶What is meant by "professionally active"?
“Professionally active” means that you are involved in activity that entails the application of engineering competence; this includes being a current member of an ICE committee or panel, or volunteering as an ICE non-panel assessor.
▶I complete a CPD record for my employer or another institution: do I need to complete a further form for the ICE?
If you complete a CPD record for your employer or for another professional institution you can submit this for the CPD audit. You do not have to re-record your CPD records in the ICE format. However, please note the following information: - Any CPD records submitted should comply with the Engineering Council’s CPD Code for Registrants as a minimum standard. - The peer review by the CPD Auditors will be based on ICE’s CPD Guidance.
▶Is a development action plan really necessary?
We believe it is. A DAP helps you to identify the areas that require development so that you can proactively maintain, enhance, or improve your knowledge and skills.
▶I haven't completed a DAP: can I submit my CPD record without a DAP?
If you did not complete a Development Action Plan for 2024 you can submit your Personal Development Record only. Please note, that an absence of a DAP will be reflected in the feedback you receive from our CPD Auditors.
▶As a professionally qualified member do I have to do a minimum number of hours?
Your CPD should be about undertaking relevant development and therefore about effective outcomes. Your professional development should actively add to your knowledge and skills – this is not dependent on how long it takes you to acquire that knowledge. ICE does not set a minimum CPD hours requirement for professionally qualified members. The number of CPD hours that a member completes will vary based on their registration grade, level of experience, role and responsibility and future career plans.
▶Who reviews my records?
Your records are peer-reviewed by a pool of volunteer civil engineers with a range of skill sets. All have significant industry experience and can provide feedback to help you improve the planning and recording of your CPD. In September, our CPD Auditors will provide you with feedback on your records, which will be in line with the principles set out within the ICE CPD Guidance.
▶How do I combine all of my documents in to one PDF without Adobe?
The easiest way to do this is to copy and paste all your documents on to one Word document. Then, go to file, and under save, click on save as PDF.
