Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

[Sidewinder]

Hi all

I would like to know if someone took part in the CPD from GARP and could share some experience? Is it correct that you get at the end of the 2-year circle a letter with your Achievements and thats it? Dont know exactly but for me it sounds a little bit like GARP wants to hold his GARP Membership payers in the long run.

Thanks in advance for some insights.

Regards Alex

Thought I'd resurrect this thread for all those who recently passed.

I am currently looking at what activities I could take to complete the CPD program this year.
A couple of observations:
- Most of the interesting stuff is not free and requires you to pay thousands of USD (or hundreds for books) which is a bit annoying I think.
- There are free stuff worth a fair amount of credit (coursera , edx platform courses). These platforms are nice and I think this will be the way I will take
- There are some readings available but it's worth 1 credit and I assume this is going to be a pain to fill up the CPD this way...

Kind regards,

Planning to attend 1 event/conference per year (company would pay). Other than that I think the readings are not that bad: 40 credits are needed and the cycle is 2 years. That's about 2 articles per month... I find it manageable (I see it as instead of 1 hour browsing the web I could earn a credit)...

On a humorous note, come to think of it, time spent browsing BT and participating in the forum should count as CPD credit...?!

Hi, Checking the CPD status on the GARP website, some say they are not confirmed meaning in pending state. I got them by attending the some webinar, 1 even not real time and recorded. How and when GARP will approve the pending, do you know.

Hi,

I qualified as an FRM this year with the help of BT

I understood at the time that the CPD was optional. While I am always happy expanding my knowledge, I have now been getting emails from GARP that suggest that you have to renew GARP membership (which is costly) to submit CDP credits, and it doesn't sound optional anymore. I am battling to find information on this topic - please could you assist?

Also, apologies if this has been asked before - I searched the forums and couldn't find anything recent.

My CPD submissions are confirmed even if I'm a non-paying member. Whether or not you submit, your certification still stays with you unless GARP changes the mechanics.

I moved your post to this thread that discusses the CPD just to keep all posts in the same thread. I also wanted to provide the GARP webpage for the updated CPD handbook in case anyone would like to download it: https://www.garp.org/#!/cpd
