Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) ensures our members have skills that remain current. The EIGCA CPD Programme is a voluntary free-to-use points-based system which allows members to track and record their professional learning.
The wide range of activities which are eligible to be logged are split into four categories. Examples of activities are:
- Education – Attending EIGCA conferences/seminars/workshops, non-EIGCA seminars, webinars, EIGCA study tours
- Professional – attending the EIGCA Annual General Meeting, serving on EIGCA Council or Committees, marking EIGCA student assignments, writing golf course reviews, publishing articles
- Networking – attending the EIGCA Annual Meeting Dinners, being a member of other golf-related membership organisations, e.g. FEGGA, GEO
- Personal Learning – volunteering, e.g. at a local sports club
Once the first activity is logged and points earned, members become CPD Active and work towards accruing the required 60 credits needed to become CPD Approved. Once granted, CPD activity needs to be continued for approval to be maintained.
Whether our members are experienced architects, or just starting their careers, being CPD Approved by EIGCA sets them apart by identifying them as professionals who strive to be better at their craft every day, and are committed to continuing their learning.
