PRACTICAL WORKSHEET

CPD personal development record

Record learning activities, their benefit to your work and any further development needed.

SELF-MANAGED RECORD

Use the worksheet for your own planning and reflection. For a formal submission, use the current ICE or IStructE form. Completing a worksheet does not certify competence.

What to record

01

Date

When it happened.

02

Activity

What it was, and who provided it if formal.

03

Category

Formal or informal; technical, management, health and safety, professional.

04

Hours

Effective learning hours.

05

Objective it addresses

Link back to your development action plan where it applies.

06

Benefit gained

What you understand or can do that you could not before. This is what is assessed.

07

Applied to work

Where you used it, specifically.

08

Next action

What it made you want to learn next.

Use it well

  • ICE expects at least 30 hours of effective learning a year, and validation is about benefit gained rather than attendance.
  • Activities outside work, and outside civil engineering, can count.
  • Your record must include current formal health, safety and welfare training.
