All of the categories appear as options in the online menus when you log in to your CPD page, all you need to do is tick the relevant box, record how much time you spent on that activity and note how you felt it contributed to your practice. The system will automatically tell you how many hours out of your total 15 required you have completed and how many to go for this year. CPD runs alongside your membership year - this is noted on you CPD activity page.

15 hours of activities, taken from more than one of the 4 main categories.  These can be spread over your membership year.

• Tick the box on the left of the activities you wish to download & click the 'Apply to selected items' button to create a PDF.

• You are now on the edit form of your activity, click the tab "View" in the top left corner
• Click the "save this page as a PDF file"

There is some clever programming in the back of the website which enables the admin team to review your CPD hours – so we can encourage you to get involved in some activities if you are not on track to complete 15 hours within your membership year. We will do a rolling programme of checks so that everyone’s CPD is looked at during the year.

That is not a problem. The Informal Learning category enables you to count activities like reading books or articles, discussions with colleagues, journaling on treatments given and received.

It is essential that professional members log CPD  

• A minimum of 15 hours must be logged each year.   
• CPD does not have to be expensive or onerous – most of us are doing it all the time by reading, listening to podcasts, talking with colleagues, journaling on treatments given and received, and so on. Have a look at our free CPD resources for some ideas. 
• If CPD requirements are not met for 2.9 years the Shiatsu Society will unfortunately need to downgrade your membership to Associate Membership.

There is an upload facility if you have any CPD certificates or photos of your activities. These will be kept on the system for 2 years only, so make sure you also keep an external back up - and remember you can download your entire CPD records - as a listing or individually.
