CPD Online version 3 is now released. The new version is designed to make it easier for registrants to record their CPD because it will provide them with greater flexibility in the way they complete their records online. Users can now start a CPD record from any point in the learning cycle including reflection, planning, action and evaluation. A wizard is provided to assist users in determining which form they should use to most accurately describe and record their learning experience. Version 3 also allows users to more closely associate competencies with individuals by allowing them to select relevant competencies in their profile. More information about version 3 can be found in the FAQs section.
