All Society Fellows can now use MyCPD in the member's portal to record their Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Managing your CPD through an online portal offers a smarter, more efficient alternative to manual tracking. The benefits of logging your CPD online include:
- Organisation and streamlining: keep all of your future CPD records and activities in one secure, searchable place. Chartered Geographers can submit their CPD through MyCPD, providing a simpler, more efficient annual CPD submission process.
- Automation and tracking: MyCPD Automatically calculates CPD hours and tracks progress toward annual goals. Export your CPD log at any time.
- Compliance: align your CPD to the professional standards outlined by the Society's Professional Code of Conduct and the Charterd Geographer framework of competencies.
- Adjustment: automatically calculate annual hourly requirements for part-time professionals.
From 2025 onwards, all Chartered Geographers will be required to submit their CPD logs via MyCPD.
