CPD
Unsurprisingly due its recent launch 56% of members did not know about the new tool...
...but 78% of those using it rated it ‘good’ or ‘excellent’.
Why not look at the new CPD tool by visiting www.the-ies.org/members, or view our video walkthrough.
Membership survey
Based on feedback from last year’s membership survey we developed and launched an online CPD recording tool.
We’ll be helping more members to make use of the tool in 2015.
