Important changes to CIPFA CPD requirements

CIPFA is making some important changes to continuing professional development (CPD) requirements that will take effect from 1 January 2025.

Key changes 

We are transitioning from an input-based to an output-based approach to CPD, focusing on the achievement of learning outcomes. However, to maintain professional standards, we are implementing the following minimum requirements:

  • A minimum of 20 hours of learning
  • Mandatory completion of one hour of ethics-related verifiable CPD within this total.

Watch this space – full information and the updated CPD policy will be issued shortly.
