CPD OFFERS ROUTE TO PROFESSIONAL IMPROVEMENT

CPD has been COMPULSORY for BDMA Members since 1st January 2008

From 1st August 2005 Members have been able to join the BDMA’s Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Programme which supports their ongoing professional development, recording points accrued from a range of learning activities.  The Programme identifies the number of CPD Points allocated to specific types of events, study materials and other educational activities, allowing members to prove they are maintaining their professional competence and constantly improving their knowledge.  Options are not confined to BDMA events but include any relevant learning activity approved by the committee.

A total of 20 CPD Points must be accrued during each year in order to meet the Programme requirements. Once registered, Members are provided with a log book to record their learning activities and a folder in which to keep documentary proof of attendance at courses or events.

Log books are subject to audit at any time. Failure to produce CPD records for audit when requested is treated as non-compliance and membership is suspended pending an examination re-sit. If a pass mark is not achieved when re-sitting the exam, accreditation is withdrawn.

Through the CPD process the BDMA can assist those who have not previously considered how they might continue their education, while those who have already embarked on their own development path will find the CPD Programme provides a valuable support structure.

Associate Members wishing to gain accreditation must accrue a minimum of 10 CPD Points prior to sitting the BDMA examination at Technician Level 1. The annual registration fee is £15.00. BDMA members who have not yet joined the CPD Programme can register online by completing the form below.  Alternatively registration can be requested by email to education@bdma.org.uk or by calling BDMA Administration on 07000 843 236. Please allow 28 days to receive your CPD Folder and Log Book
