Membership CPD Requirements
We are committed to maintaining our position as the leading membership organisation in the UK for shaping and sharing good practice in construction health and safety risk management.
It is important that all our members demonstrate to industry that their knowledge, skills and experience are as up-to-date as they can be.
It is a condition of our membership that members commit to a programme of Continuing Professional Development.
Our Membership Department carry out random monitoring of a sample of members' CPD every month. You will be contacted directly if you are selected.
Required CPD Standards
To maintain membership of APS every member is required to gain at least 24 CPD points in the previous year with points credited for various undertakings including attendance at seminars, preparation of seminars, self-certified reading etc.
Members will self certify their CPD compliance by declaration at membership renewal.
APS will carry out random sample checks of member CPD activity. Members who are selected will be required to submit their CPD record within one calendar month of the request being made. The member's CPD record may be further queried by a follow up telephone interview.
Members should keep their own record or log of CPD activity bearing in mind that they may be required to submit a copy of their record to APS as part of random sampling.
What counts towards membership CPD?
APS recognises most CPD programmes that are relevant to the work that a member carries out and relates to construction health and safety risk management.
