Professional skills training: what do you need to do?

Open-access content 10th February 2015

In light of the results of our recent monitoring of the professional skills training (PST) requirements, we thought it might be useful to remind you of what your requirements are. 

PST is designed to help you maintain and enhance your professional skills and has been developed to be relevant to members throughout their professional careers. 

There are three stages of training that you may be required to complete, depending on your continuing professional development (CPD) category and your level of experience.

? Stage 1 - online professional awareness test 

? Stage 2 - professional skills course

? Stage 3 - professional skills for experienced members 

You may find this flowchart helpful in working out what your own requirements are. 

If you are still unsure about what this means for you, contact the membership team at [email protected]

Full detail of the PST requirements are set out in the CPD Scheme 2014/2015, which incorporates information previously contained in the now superseded Professional Skills Training Handbook.
