Remember, CPD can be easily gained by using our new virtual learning environment (VLE). The VLE has a fully responsive design, allowing for use on smartphones, tablets or desktops. 

To access the VLE on the website, please click on 'my learning environment' under 'my account'.

The new CPD functionality allows you to watch a video then click the 'claim CPD' button to update your CPD record. When you do this, we will verify the activity for you, making it easier for you if you are chosen for audit.

If you need to boost your Professional Skills CPD before 30 June, we will be hosting two webinars on 8 June to support this.

Both webinars will cover the same content. You can choose to attend either session:

08.30 to 09.30; or
