All Institute of Directors' Members, Chartered Members, and Chartered Fellows commit to CPD to improve their governance competencies.

The below guide to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is designed to support IoD members in maintaining and enhancing their governance capabilities. It outlines how CPD works, the types of activities that qualify – from formal training and boardroom development to reading governance publications and mentoring others – and how to track and claim your CPD points. As part of your IoD membership, CPD is both a benefit and a commitment, helping you stay current with governance best practice, build credibility, and meet the requirements of professional recognition such as Chartered membership.

I undertake CPD activities regularly, including IoD events, training courses, absorbing Boardroom magazine and IoD's digital communications
