Any learning activity can count as verifiable CPD when you can answer YES to these three questions:
- Was the learning activity relevant to your career?
- Can you explain how you applied the learning in the workplace?
- Can you provide evidence that you undertook the learning activity?
Non-verifiable CPD is general learning that is not related to a specific outcome or for which it isn't easy to gather evidence. It can include general reading, such as technical journal articles.
