IPReg's approach to continuing competence is changing significantly.
The new, more flexible approach to maintaining competence through regular self-evaluation and development replaces the previous ‘hours-based’ model of continuing professional development (‘CPD’).
The new regulatory arrangements came into force on 1st July 2023.
This event is free to all CITMA and CIPA members.

This joint event with CIPA, CITMA and IPReg, follows the earlier event on 8th June and will support you with the transition to the new requirements before you complete your IPReg annual return in December.
Fran Gillon and Shelley Edwards from IPReg will lead a discussion on the changes with plenty of time to answer any questions you may have.
CITMA Chief Executive Keven Bader will chair the session.
You can find copies of all the new regulatory arrangements here. You should also read the Continuing Competence guidance which sets out the new requirements in detail.
