All Chartered Security Professionals are required to undertaken Continuous Professional Development (CPD), and do this by participating in the Security Institute’s annual CPD Scheme.

This is a self-administered scheme where you track your own CPD activity in the CPD App and submit it annually for verification.

​The CPD year runs from 1 January to 31 December each year. During this time, you should add the activities you have done based on the options given in the CPD APP and the points will be automatically calculated. Sometimes your learning will be formal i.e. classroom or conference-style, and other times informal i.e. reading magazines/websites, visiting exhibitions, helping others.

Every activity has a measure and can be converted into points (often it is 1 hour = 1 point).

Score 36 points against at least three different activities to complete your CPD each year.

If you are admitted part way through the year, in Year 1 only, score 3 points per complete month of certification i.e.. Join on 25th July, score 3 points per month from August to December = 15 points for that year.

Everything you need to get started with CPD is in the CPD APP, login and start recording your learning.

If you have any questions, please contact csyp@csyp.org.uk and copy CP*@****************te.org for advice.
