BIID CPD ANNUAL REQUIREMENT: DEADLINE 30TH APRIL 2019

Published on

If you became a BIID Registered
Interior Designer before 1st April 2018, you will be aware that you are
required to undertake 20 hours of CPD learning within the membership year (1st
April 2018 to 31st March 2019). All education for this year must be undertaken
by 31st March 2019 for it to be counted, you then have until 30th April 2019 to
record and submit your hours to the BIID.

The minimum requirement for
Registered Interior Designers is 10 hours of structured learning and 10
hours of unstructured learning to be completed in each membership year. A
guide to what is considered structured and unstructured can be
found on our website
.

There are three ways to record
your CPD activity throughout the membership year:

The Education Tracker on The BIID
Knowledge Hub
. This is a simple tool to log any education you have
undertaken. Once completed, click 'Export Summary Report'.

The BIID CPD Record Template.
If you do not have this template, please email the office for a copy or overwrite
your copy from last year’s recording cycle.

Your Own
Template. Complete and save your own template with the following
details of each activity: date completed, education name, category and hours.

Once you have logged your hours
in one of the above formats, please send through to Learning and Events
Executive, Hayley McLennan hayley.mclennan@BIID.org.uk
 

If you are struggling to fulfil
some of your structured hours, the BIID Knowledge Hub has over 20 hours of free, online
structured learning available at the click of a button.  

Submitting your CPD hours is straightforward
and needn't be time consuming. You probably have done the necessary amount
without even knowing! However, if you are still unsure about your requirements
for logging CPD or if you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to
contact us at info@biid.org.uk or by
telephone 020 7628 0255.

Exemptions 

  • Associate members of the BIID who are
    undertaking the Professional Pathway as a route to BIID Registered
    Interior Designer status are not required to submit CPD hours.
  • Retired and non-practising designers are also
    exempt from the requirement.
  • If you became a BIID Registered Interior
    Designer midway through the membership year, your annual CPD requirement
    will be due after your first year of membership is completed.
  • Extenuating circumstances, for example a long-term
    illness, will be considered on a case by case basis. Please inform the
    office at your closest convenience of your circumstances.

This policy came into effect on
12/10/2016 - the previous BIID CPD requirement was measured in points rather
than hours.
