Mandatory CPD checking for Engineering Council Registrants
Carrying out regular CPD is recommended for all IFE members; however those who are also registered with the Engineering Council (EngC) are obliged to undertake CPD as part of the registration agreement. From January 2017, in accordance with The Engineering Council’s Registration Code of Practice, Professional Engineering Institutions (PEIs) including the IFE have been required to implement random CPD sampling and this was carried out for the first time earlier this year.
