Template columns

What a good CPD record template includes.

Date, activity title, type of learning, provider, hours, evidence, what you learned and how it changed your practice. The online template prompts you for each, then adds up the hours.

01

Record what you did

Add the activity, date, provider and time spent. Courses are only the start - record supervision, reading and learning from practice too.

02

Capture what changed

Add a reflection while the learning is fresh: what you learned, why it matters and what you will do differently in practice.

03

Share when you choose

Export a clear PDF or CSV, or create a read-only link for an appraiser. You stay in control of your record.

A record that stays with you

No broken formulas or lost files. Totals, targets and reflections are built in.

Your employer does not automatically see personal reflections. You decide what to share.
