CPD records for every practitioner

Each activity holds the points claimed, where they came from and the supporting files. Progress is counted against the requirements for the practitioner's profession and jurisdiction.

One record per activity

Courses, legal writing, presentations and committee work use the same record fields.

  • Activity details

    The date, provider, delivery mode, points, category and evidence are stored on the activity.

  • Category coverage

    Points are counted against each compulsory area and against the annual total.

  • Activity caps

    The scheme's cap for the activity type is applied when the activity is recorded.

Recording an activity

  • Activity details first

    Record what you did, then the category and points claimed.

  • Profile-based options

    Profession, jurisdiction and CPD year determine the categories, rates and dates shown.

  • Evidence on the entry

    Attach a certificate, receipt or attendance email when you record the activity, or add it later.

Requirements by jurisdiction and profession

The table comes from the same requirements data Cupid uses to count each record, with the official sources and review date for every profile.
