CPD guidance, recognised activities and reference documents. CPD records and CPD provider applications are now submitted through eGEOReg.
Registered geologists must record CPD activities and submit supporting evidence through eGEOReg. Programme organisers also submit CPD provider applications through the same system.
Continuing Professional Development is the systematic maintenance, improvement and extension of professional knowledge and skills, together with the development of personal qualities required throughout a registered person's working life.
CPD helps registered geologists maintain technical competence, follow developments in geoscience and remain informed of changes to professional codes and regulations.
Excess credit points may be carried forward for one subsequent year only. Records must be supported by suitable evidence and remain available for review by the Board.
A registered geologist may apply to the Board for an activity to be considered for suitable CPD credit. Evidence of participation or completion must be provided.
Each activity claimed must be supported by evidence appropriate to the activity.
