CPD Monitoring 2021 - 2022

CIAT’s members (excluding student members) and affiliates are required to undertake a minimum of 35 hours CPD per annum. Each year 5% of eligible members are selected for CPD Monitoring to ensure they are in compliance.

The Institute's Code of Conduct, states the following:

Clause A7: Continuing Professional Development
The members (excluding student members) shall:

  • A7a) keep themselves informed of current practices and developments appropriate to the type and level of their responsibilities; and
  • A7b) be able to provide evidence that they have complied with the requirements for continuing Professional development (CPD) as published by the Institute from time to time.

Clause B7: Continuing Professional Development
Affiliates shall:

  • B7a) keep themselves informed of current practices and developments appropriate to the type and level of their responsibilities; and
  • B7b) be able to provide evidence that they have complied with the requirements for continuing Professional development (CPD) as published by the Institute from time to time.

The CPD monitoring requests for 2021-2022 will be sent out on Tuesday 3 May 2022 to those that have been selected, asking for declaration that confirms the required CPD hours were undertaken.

As per the Institute’s policy, failure to forward your declaration could result in you being monitored on your CPD activity for the next three years, or referral to the Conduct Committee for consideration, or investigation as per the Institute’s Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures.  

To support its members and affiliates, the Institute offers an online platform to find relevant courses to support their professional development.  The AT CPD Register is an online directory of providers and their courses which have been assessed and deemed to be of a high standard, current and relevant to Architectural Technology professionals, and can be accessed here.  The Institute also has an additional resource called the CPD Catalogue which comprises of content and events arranged by CIAT’s Regions, Centres and aspirATion Groups (RCAGs) and other like-minded organisations. Although this content has not been assessed, they may still be of interest and would contribute towards CPD.

Members and affiliates are able to maintain and update their individual CPD activity via the ‘My CPD’ section in the ‘Member’s Only’ area of the website. Each activity can be logged, and any associated files uploaded with a time tracker to assist in calculating the number of hours undertaken. It can be accessed here.    

An article on CPD that provides more information on CPD appears in the Spring 2022 Edition of AT Journal, and which can be downloaded here.  

Please note that you do not need to provide any evidence of what CPD you have done between 1 May 2021 and 30 April 2022 – this information is for your use and retention only.
