2015 Programme
The Society’s annual Learning & Professional Development programme is organised by the Learning Centre in conjunction with our member networks. Proposals are currently being considered and we look forward to launching the programme in the autumn..
e-Learning
A number of online CPD modules are available for you to complete at your own pace from anywhere with internet access, whether that be your office, on a train or the comfort of your sofa, making them ideal for people who find it difficult to travel to events.
The modules have been designed to suit all learning styles and because they are done online it means you can spend 20 minutes or an hour working on them.
Take a look at our e-Learning section for more information and a list of available courses.
CPD Approval Scheme
The CPD Approval Scheme is the Society’s model of approving programmes or events that are offered by external providers that meet the Society's standards. It enables CPD providers to have programmes or events that are of relevance to psychology and/or psychologists approved.
For more information, go to the CPD Approval scheme page.
CPD resources
To find out the recommended minimum number of CPD hours per year or what activities count towards your professional development, and other CPD guidance and advice visit the CPD resources section.
Psychologists registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) will be required to maintain an ongoing record of their CPD in order to renew their registration. Further information on the HCPC CPD requirements can be found on their website.
MyCPD
Our online system, myCPD, provides a structured framework for planning and recording CPD. Members can use the system to record their needs and activities, and print reports to meet CPD requirements of an employer or regulator, such as those of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
