Engineers Ireland's CPD Policy requires all members – excluding retired members and student members - to undertake and declare a minimum of 35 hours of CPD per annum

Members of Engineers Ireland are being urged to make their 2021 CPD declaration in advance of the 31 January deadline.

Engineers Ireland recognises the importance of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) in maintaining and raising members’ professional standards. By agreeing to abide by the Code of Ethics through membership, all members are requested to make a fundamental commitment to ongoing self-improvement, in particular, to “strive to maintain and develop their professional knowledge, skills and expertise throughout their careers”.

In order to maintain and develop professional knowledge, skills and expertise, Engineers Ireland’s CPD Policy requires members to undertake and declare a minimum of 35 hours of CPD.  All CPD activities can be logged and declared on 'My CPD', an online tool designed to allow members to record and track their CPD activities.

Please note that this requirement to declare CPD hours applies to all members – excluding retired members and student members. A number of exemptions and pro-rata requirements apply to those on maternity, paternal or sabbatical leave; or members experiencing unemployment. There is also a simple, two-step declaration process for members working for CPD Accredited Employers.
