Informal Activity

What is an informal activity?

Informal activities are often shorter in duration and do not involve any evaluation, but they contribute to the expansion of knowledge, skills, and judgment.

It is one of the categories under which CPD hours can be claimed.

They include:

• self-directed study
• attendance at conferences and industry trade shows
• attendance at seminars, technical presentations, talks, and workshops (if four hours or less)
• attendance at meetings of technical, professional, or managerial associations or societies
• structured discussion of technical information or professional issues with one’s peers

One hour of informal activity equals one CPD hour.

Up to 30 CPD hours per year may be claimed in this category.
