Protection CPD hub

Online resources for your continued professional development

The Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) requires everyone selling insurance to do at least 15 CPD hours per year. If you already need to do 35 hours of CPD each year for retail investment activities, these 15 hours are included in that.

Our CPD hub is fully accredited by the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) and the Chartered Insurance institute (CII).
