Continuous Professional Development (“CPD”)

As well as assisting towards your career development as a STEP member you are required to undertake Continuous Professional Development (CPD) as part of your STEP Membership.

​​

The STEP Jersey Webinars, Lectures and Events are geared towards assisting STEP Members not only to keep up to date with topical issues and current best practice all but also to contribute to annual CPD requirements. As such all STEP Jersey Professional Events are CPD accredited and you should maintain a record of your attendance at STEP Events to evidence your annual CPD.

​

Your Human Resources department will undoubtedly keep a record of your attendance, but one of the perks of your STEP membership is that you are provided with support to help you maintain a record. Click here to log in and record your CPD directly.
