We are currently hosting weekly CPD Webinars, members will be notified on a regular basis as to the topic and date of the weekly Webinar.
We have a capacity for 3000 members on any one Webinar so we hope to accommodate all members who wish to attend.
Members who attend an Institute hosted CPD Webinar will not have to add the event to their record, this will be uploaded by our Member Services team once they have reviewed the Webinar reports.
This process can take up to 2 weeks.
Under current accreditation guidelines, it is not possible to claim CPD towards your annual 15 hour MCC requirement by listening to a Webinar, even if hosted by the Institute.
To be eligible for CPD you must be able to see the presentation, hear the speaker and be able to ask questions or answer polls during the event.
