Changes have been made to how REPs members can earn their Continual Professional Development (CPD) points.

Following a consultation, REPs members - who need to earn 24 CPD points every 24 months - can now gain up to 20 points through awarding body qualifications, industry awards and courses with mandatory assessment.

Workshops endorsed by SkillsActive are worth up to four points, as are online exams, seminars, conventions/trade shows, completion of self-taught programmes and technical questions posted at the end of the REPs Journal.
