CPD as easy as ABC

Open-access content Friday 26th February 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

28 January saw a key strand of the IFoA digital strategy realised – the latest iteration of the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

28 January saw a key strand of the IFoA digital strategy realised - the latest iteration of the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).

The latest release of the VLE allows members to access exclusive continuing professional development (CPD) videos and content from our many events, while also providing a platform for online exams and professionalism training. 

It features a responsive design, allowing for seamless use on smartphones, tablets or desktop. You can access the VLE through direct links to video content on the website or by clicking on the 'My learning environment' icon under 'My account' on the website. The new CPD functionality allows you to watch a video and then click the 'Claim CPD' button to update your CPD record. 

User research indicated that, with increasing time pressures, offering a more integrated and easier digital journey for your CPD requirements was vital. The new VLE does just that, while also aligning with our digital strategy aims - to better enable our members to find our content, and to promote high-value content for thought leadership, international engagement and learning.

We hope you will enjoy using the new VLE and that it will make it easier to record your CPD.

The public debate is already heating up, with many media outlets commenting, and stakeholders taking views publicly.
