What is CPD

Continuing professional development (CPD) is an essential requirement for all financial advisers. The FCA states that all advisers must complete a minimum of 35 hours of relevant CPD each year, with at least 21 hours being structured learning. Structured learning activities can include seminars, lectures, conferences, workshops or courses and completing appropriate e-learning.
