Paying for CPD out of your own pocket? You might not need to.
Free CPD is out there
Workplace training that teaches you something new can count. So can free webinars, and journal articles you read and reflect on. You don't have to pay for an hour to count it.
Check before you count it
- Is it relevant to your practice?
- Do you get a certificate or other proof you took part?
- Can you record your learning need and a reflection?
- Can you keep the record for five years?
Four yeses and you're good. Routine annual CPR and fire training don't count, free or not.
