Declare your CPD

You can now declare your CPD hours for the year 2010-11. As an IfL member you need to record the number of hours of continuing professional development (CPD) you complete each year.

Declaring your CPD only takes a few moments and can be completed in one of two ways:

  1. Use the quick and easy online self-declaration form.

    or

  2. If you have already recorded your CPD in REfLECT, login to REfLECT, click on ‘Tools’, then ‘CPD declaration’ and follow the onscreen instructions.

You only need to record the number of hours of CPD you have completed and provide brief details. You do not need to send in evidence of your CPD unless IfL contacts you as part of our sample.

Upon completion you will receive an automatic email confirming that we have received your declaration.

The CPD declaration window is open until 31 August 2011.
