Help CentreWe are dedicated to facilitating Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for all our students through our diverse range of courses and qualifications. We understand the importance of staying up-to-date with the constantly changing legislation and industry trends.
STEP’s CPD policy is based on role benchmarking and does not mandate a specific number of CPD hours. This ensures that on-the-job learning remains a valuable and purposeful tool for professional growth. Many professional bodies are increasingly adopting a needs-driven approach to CPD, and as such, we do not prescribe CPD hours for STEP courses. Instead, we encourage individuals to assess which CPD activities are most relevant to their professional development and tailor their CPD plans accordingly.
That said, we recognise the importance of CPD and have found that our qualifications generally meet the annual CPD requirements of regulators and professional bodies. While we can provide a certificate of attendance to support CPD applications, students are responsible for self-certifying the time spent independently working through the course material and reflecting on their learning.
