Important information for members including:
• new ways of earning CPD; and
• a reminder of deadlines for the current CPD year
Have you made use of the CPD material available online?
As part of our commitment to member support, the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries is working to deliver ongoing improvements to the CPD services which we provide to you, to enable you to enhance your professional skills and knowledge.One way in which we have been doing this is by making increasing amounts of CPD material available online, particularly in the form of audio and video recordings of our events.
This is intended to:
• give all members access to the latest thinking and research in actuarial science in the form of recordings of our sessional events;
• enrich the breadth of material available to you via thought-provoking recordings of plenary sessions at our annual residential conferences;
• make CPD available to all members, in a convenient format, wherever they are located are in the world, allowing everyone to benefit from the same content.
This is an initiative which we are continuing to develop and we hope you will see ongoing improvements in the provision and recording of CPD over the next two years.
Deadlines for the current CPD year
We are now just over half-way through the current CPD year: the reporting year ends on 30 June and records must be complete by 31 July. We would therefore like to remind you that it is your responsibility to ensure that your records are compliant by the 31 July deadline and to encourage you to bring them up-to-date at this half-way stage. Please note that if you wish to make an application for a concession or an exemption, you must do so before 30 April.
If you are a fully regulated member but based overseas and completing CPD with your local actuarial body, you can apply to be affiliated to that body for CPD purposes, provided we recognise the CPD Scheme in question. You can find full details of this in the CPD Scheme.
The CPD Scheme also contains some useful suggestions to help you make up your CPD hours. Please refer to the Scheme for new ideas for earning CPD points, or if you are in doubt about CPD hours earned for a particular activity.
If you have any further questions about CPD compliance and need advice from the CPD Team, please contact us at: cpd_feedback@actuaries.org.uk.
