ICE members maintain high compliance for 2024 CPD audit

The ICE has reported a 96% compliance rate for members selected to submit their records as part of the annual CPD audit.

The ICE’s CPD audit demonstrates civil engineers' commitment to continuing professional development and their understanding of the benefits gained from the Plan-Act-Assess-Review CPD cycle.

Of those requested to submit their CPD records, 41 failed to comply and risk removal from the membership roll and the Engineering Council register if they don't submit their records by February 2025.

Key findings

The key findings from this year’s audit:

• The ICE’s CPD templates continue to be the most popular format for members to record their CPD and effectively follow the CPD cycle.
• Many members are consistently recording and evaluating their CPD to a high standard. The ICE will continue to promote best practice within the wider membership.
• Of those audited, 91% of members were observed to have undertaken a range of CPD activities (a minimum of three types). This demonstrates that they are seeking different development opportunities that go beyond traditional learning settings.

Final compliance rate for 2023

Last year, 43 members were reported to the Trustee Board for non-compliance.

Eighteen members were removed from the membership roll after failing to meet the extended deadline in February 2024.

Since then, two of these members have submitted their records and will be reinstated.

Planning for 2025

As 2024 closes, members are encouraged to:

• ensure that their 2024 personal development record (PDR) is up to date;
• reflect on their learning; and
• evaluate how well they’ve achieved their 2024 development action plan (DAP) objectives.

Templates can be found within the ICE CPD guidance.
