Examples of CPD
Examples of the different types of CPD are listed below. Where possible off-job CPD opportunities, and the providers, must be pre-approved by the WIPA Governance Board and evidence of attendance provided by the WIP.
On-job CPD may include project management, mentoring, in house courses/training and writing a technical report. This form of CPD must be supported by certificates of achievement/third party attestations such as an employer’s written endorsement, explaining what outcomes/deliverables were achieved, as evidence.

CPD is measured by the number of hours assigned to each CPD activity. The WIPA Governance Board assigns the hours to each activity based on activity structure, outcomes/deliverables, assessment methodology if required, and pre-approval status for the activity provider. On-job CPD activities may need to be assessed on a case by case basis, based on evidence submitted.
