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.

Better than a blank sheet

A record that stays with you

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

Private by default

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

Need a file? Export it

Download your filled-in record as a CSV or PDF whenever you want a copy.

No lock-in

Download your record as a PDF or CSV whenever you need it.

WorkplaceHero helps you organise your CPD. It does not replace the current CPD requirements of your regulator or professional body.

Questions, answered

Before you start

Is the CPD record template free?
Yes. Individual accounts are free permanently, with no card details and no trial period. Log learning, add reflections, set a target and export your record whenever you need it.
Can I import my existing CPD spreadsheet?
Yes. Save it as a CSV from Excel or Google Sheets and import it. Your old entries sit alongside new ones.
Can I download the template as a file?
Yes. Export your record as a CSV or PDF at any time, so you always have a copy.
Can my employer see my entries?
Not automatically. Your personal record belongs to you. You choose when to export or share a read-only copy, and what it includes.
What happens if I change employer?
Your record stays with you. It is attached to you, not your employer, so your full history follows you between roles.
