A failure to comply with our CPD requirements may breach our Code of Professional Conduct. Potential breaches of the STEP Code can be referred to the Disciplinary Panel for consideration. If a member chooses to allow their membership to lapse, they will need to submit a CPD record before their membership can be reinstated.
CPD can be recorded using STEP’s forms, STEP’s online record-keeping facility, an employer’s forms, or those of another professional body. If another organization’s forms are used and do not match STEP’s CPD year (1st April to 31st March) then the most up-to-date record covering a full year should be submitted if requested. Members are required to keep a record of their professional development for 3 years and to be prepared to submit this to the STEP office as requested.
If a member is fully retired or on long-term leave and doing no work for clients, their CPD requirement at that time is nil. If and when a member resumes client work they are expected to be up-to-date and competent to carry out that work. The individual member needs to plan for and manage the transfer of roles.
myCPE provides courses that are approved for continuing education credits by NASBA. Based on the guidelines issued by these boards regarding Continuing Education Requirements, we recommend the programs/ webinars to be suitable for NASBA specified in each webinar. However, it will be the responsibility of each attendee to ensure that they are eligible for the Continuing Education Credits based on their occupation/ job profile, knowledge requirements as well as guidelines laid down by their regulatory board before registering for the webinars.
