Getting the most out of your approach with CPD
March 2017
For many advisers, Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is a necessary evil that is foist upon them by an over-zealous regulator.
Everybody is aware of the requirements, 35 hours per year of which 21 hours must involve structured sessions. On the face of it, this equates to less than 3 hours per month, 45 minutes per week in a 4-week month. This does not represent much of a time investment. In fact, if an adviser is unwilling to invest that much time in their future as an adviser, perhaps they should consider a less onerous profession.
