2015/2016 CPD year end is fast approaching

Open-access content Wednesday 4th May 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

As the end of the continuing professional development (CPD) year (30 June) for categories 2-6 is rapidly approaching, we thought it might be useful to remind you of your obligations under the 2015/16 CPD scheme.

As the end of the continuing professional development (CPD) year (30 June) for categories 2-6 is rapidly approaching, we thought it might be useful to remind you of your obligations under the 2015/16 CPD scheme.


If you have any questions about your CPD requirements, visit 

bit.ly/1ROqiku or email [email protected] 


Fully regulated Fellows and Associates - category 2

  •  At least 15 hours of CPD 
  •  Five hours must be obtained at external events
  •  Stage 2 or 3 of professional skills training (PST), as relevant (PST counts towards your overall CPD requirement)


Partially regulated Fellows and Associates - category 3

  • Must comply with the CPD requirements of your primary regulator 
  •  Must also complete either stage 2 or 3 of PST, as relevant 


Certified actuarial analyst - category 4 

  •  At least 15 hours of CPD 
  •  Five hours must be obtained at external events
  •  Two hours must contribute to your understanding of ethical behaviours in relation to your role


Student member - category 5 

  • No technical skills requirement
  •  Must complete stage 1, 2 or 3 of PST, as relevant. If stage 3 is completed, this must be recorded in your online CPD record


Student actuarial analyst - category 6

  •  No technical skills requirement 
  •  Must complete stage 1 PST by the end of your first CPD year


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.


Boost your CPD with PST webinars

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

16.30 to 17.30 (BST).

Alternatively, gain CPD hours at our IFoA conference plenaries (bit.ly/1QGUnke), or access our online content (bit.ly/25UutBw)
