Professionals working in the skilled trades or construction in the United Kingdom often require or are encouraged to take a minimum amount of Continuing Professional Development hours to maintain their professional designations and skills. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted as professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.
Electricians registered under the Electrotechnical Assessment Scheme (EAS) are expected to complete at least 10 hours of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) each year to maintain professional competence and remain up to date with the latest regulations, standards, and practices.
CPD is defined as any ongoing activity that develops professional knowledge, skills, and competence. It is not limited to formal qualifications but also includes informal and on-the-job learning.
Examples of accepted CPD activities include:
CPD Recordkeeping:
Electricians must maintain a CPD record showing activities undertaken, hours completed, and outcomes. Records demonstrate competence to employers, clients, or regulators and may be required to show evidence of meeting minimum CPD obligations.
The MyECS portal and app allow electricians to log CPD activities, download a CPD report, and track compliance. Only relevant qualifications required for ECS card applications are verified by the JIB; other CPD activities are self-declared but remain important for professional development.
