BOHS administers a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) scheme for members of the Faculty of Occupational Hygiene (FOH) and Faculty of Asbestos Assessment and Management (FAAM).
Our Faculties are committed to the concept of CPD as a means of encouraging and upholding the highest professional standards of knowledge and performance among qualified practitioners. Therefore, CPD is mandatory for all Faculty membership grades (apart from ‘Retired’).
CPD is your investment in your career.
Whatever the current stage of your career, whatever your aims and goals are, CPD can provide the means to achieve career progression.
How does CPD work?
Very simply – it’s a personal portfolio of your professional learning activities, where you record the knowledge, skills and experience you acquire to develop and enhance your abilities; capturing what you learned from it, and how you apply it.
Your CPD record captures your learning and development, showing that you have current skills and knowledge to demonstrate continual good professional practice and abidance to the code of ethics.
How do I log my CPD points?
BOHS Faculty members can log their CPD activities in the My CPD area of their My BOHS account.
The online CPD activity log allows members to add*, amend and collate information about their CPD activities.
It keeps a record** for you to track and plan professional development activities and contribute towards the annual submission for the ongoing membership of the Faculty.
* CPD points for BOHS events attended after booking through the BOHS website are automatically added to your CPD account.
** Please note the overall points total refreshes overnight.
Your CPD record should be completed by 31 January each year for the previous calendar year.
