Unless exempted under the Regulations, all members are required to undertake at least the prescribed level of Training & Development activities each year. Details of the requirements, the types of activities that satisfy these obligations and the grounds for exemption are set out in Regulation 7. 
 
Many means of meeting Training & Development requirements are available. Members may use the resources of the Institute, their own resources, those of other organisations, or many prefer some combination. There is a great deal of flexibility in how to achieve Training & Development requirements. 
 
It is the responsibility of the member to interpret an activity and to judge whether the activity was personally and professionally developing. 
 
Members required to undertake Training & Development must maintain a personal record of their Training & Development participation to enable them to comply with the reporting requirements in Regulation 1004. The Training & Development record form can be downloaded and used for this purpose.  
 
A sample completed Training & Development record form is available for reference. 
 
Alternatively, members can update the education component of their membership record via the Institute website. For details on how to update your Training & Development, go to the following page - Update Professional Education. 
 
If you are licensed or registered in a specialist area, your Training & Development requirements have changed. Find out how this will affect you. 
 
The Training & Development records of members holding a full-rate certificate of public practice are checked at the time their practice is reviewed under the Quality Review Program and these members should have their records available for inspection by their reviewer. 
 
A random selection of other members are requested to forward details of their Training & Development activities to the Institute during the annual Training & Development Audit. 
 
Find out how the Audit Process works. 
 
Any member who fails to comply with the reporting requirements for two consecutive years may be excluded from membership of the Institute in accordance with By-law 21.
