Important warning: Director recruitment scams

New Zealand directors are being targeted by increasingly sophisticated recruitment scams. If approached about a board opportunity, always verify the recruiter and the legitimacy of the role before sharing personal information. The IoD will never ask you to apply through an undisclosed third party claiming to act on our behalf. If in doubt, please contact us directly.

Continuing professional development will help you keep up to date on critical governance issues in a rapidly changing business and governance landscape.

Looking up through a forest of trees

IoD Members, Chartered Members, and Chartered Fellows are required to earn CPD points as part of their membership. Find out more about CPD requirements here.

Download the CPD Guide

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
