CII launches CPD review
The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has launched a review of policy on continuous professional development (CPD) and has surveyed over 3,500 of its General Insurance Faculty members to inform the study.
According to the research, the vast majority of members say that they keep up to date with industry issues by undertaking CPD; only 3% reported a CPD void.
However, some members were unsure about whether they complete the full CII requirement (14%), and some said that they found recording their CPD confusing (13%).
The perceived value of CPD was seen as keeping up-to-date with regulation and industry developments and most members believed it supported and improved their professional development (76%).
Seventy-three per cent of respondents cited reading as their favourite CPD activity, with seminars the second most popular at 66%.
CII director of policy and public affairs, David Thomson, comments: “In these uncertain economic times, ongoing learning and development is crucial to maintaining competence”.
He adds: “We have a simple goal with this review: to help members prepare for the challenges that lie ahead … by making sure our scheme is easy to understand, user-friendly, and relevant.”
