Earning CIOB CPD points. Some scenarios.

1
00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:16.260
The following are some ideas for how you might be able to meet your CPD

2
00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:17.660
obligations through the year.

3
00:00:18.250 --> 00:00:22.460
Different people in different job roles may meet the obligations in different

4
00:00:22.460 --> 00:00:25.020
ways. Hopefully, there are some ideas here for you.

5
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:27.993
If you're working,

6
00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:32.020
perhaps you're a construction manager with a housing association, and every month

7
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.620
you read Construction Manager. You might do this just for interest,

8
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:39.940
but you can make it your CPD if you take the time to reflect upon the

9
00:00:39.940 --> 00:00:40.480
articles,

10
00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:44.060
 and how you could incorporate the learning from them into your practice as a

11
00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:46.380
professional. This doesn't take long.

12
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.580
You're not being challenged by other people about your thinking,

13
00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:53.720
but it will earn you a small number of points each time. Just 1.

14
00:00:55.700 --> 00:00:59.310
Perhaps you're a senior manager at a construction firm, leading a seminar on

15
00:00:59.430 --> 00:01:01.270
building multi-skilled teams. To do this,

16
00:01:01.270 --> 00:01:04.790
you'd have to spend some time putting together your materials and checking

17
00:01:04.790 --> 00:01:05.710
sources about them,

18
00:01:05.710 --> 00:01:09.830
finding examples. You'd examine all the reasons for and ways of creating

19
00:01:09.830 --> 00:01:13.750
effective teams. This takes a bit more time than reading one article,

20
00:01:14.050 --> 00:01:17.950
and you'll have to put together ideas and back them up. So reflecting on it,

21
00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:21.310
we'll gain you a medium number of points. 3 each time.

22
00:01:24.130 --> 00:01:27.540
Perhaps you're a student, and you could be either part-time or full-time.

23
00:01:28.340 --> 00:01:30.630
Part-time student doing a degree one day a week,

24
00:01:30.630 --> 00:01:33.750
and working for a construction consultancy for the rest of the time,

25
00:01:34.090 --> 00:01:37.710
you could use either your studies or your work to meet your CPD requirements.

26
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.990
Doing a formal qualification is a big commitment,

27
00:01:41.090 --> 00:01:45.470
and if you reflect on some of the formal learning you have done with tutors and

28
00:01:45.470 --> 00:01:47.390
other students to challenge your thinking,

29
00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:50.910
you'll gain a large number of points in one goal. 10!

30
00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:54.850
Maybe you would actually like to reflect on some of the learning you do over the

31
00:01:54.850 --> 00:01:57.570
year in your job role. Perhaps doing a 'lunch and learn'

32
00:01:57.570 --> 00:02:02.010
with your colleagues, or attending some company training. That would get you

33
00:02:02.030 --> 00:02:05.390
2 points if you reflected on it.

34
00:02:05.390 --> 00:02:07.950
Full-time students, still able to earn CPD points,

35
00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:10.870
perhaps you're doing a building surveying degree program.

36
00:02:11.410 --> 00:02:13.990
You have a teacher or a lecturer leading you through the learning,

37
00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:17.630
helping you and your classmates examine different aspects of the construction

38
00:02:18.150 --> 00:02:20.750
industry together. It's a formal qualification,

39
00:02:20.950 --> 00:02:23.550
learning lots of new ideas and concepts all the time.

40
00:02:23.860 --> 00:02:28.070
This is a big commitment and if you reflect on the ethical aspects of any part

41
00:02:28.070 --> 00:02:31.870
of this learning, either about construction or academic activities,

42
00:02:32.210 --> 00:02:35.750
you'll gain the maximum number of points for doing so. 10 points.

43
00:02:38.910 --> 00:02:41.120
Perhaps you are an academic yourself,

44
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.040
you're a lecturer on a built environment program at university,

45
00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:46.800
and you undertake research and construction management.

46
00:02:47.300 --> 00:02:51.200
You could choose to reflect on aspects of your teaching or perhaps some outreach

47
00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:51.460
work you coordinate in schools

48
00:02:51.460 --> 00:02:54.800
encouraging young people to explore the construction industry. 

49
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:58.480
This will gain you a small number of points each time you did it.

50
00:02:58.820 --> 00:03:01.120
2 points. Alternatively,

51
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.840
you could reflect on some aspect of your research activities or findings.

52
00:03:05.090 --> 00:03:08.720
Since this requires you to synthesize new ideas, communicate them,

53
00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:10.760
and face challenges to your work from others,

54
00:03:11.260 --> 00:03:14.560
you could earn a significant number of points each time. 5.

55
00:03:16.700 --> 00:03:18.400
And then there's extended leave.

56
00:03:19.820 --> 00:03:23.440
You and your partner have just adopted a baby and you're taking adoption leave

57
00:03:23.440 --> 00:03:24.840
from your role as a site manager.

58
00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:29.320
You're probably not gonna have time to undertake CPD relevant to your role in

59
00:03:29.320 --> 00:03:31.680
the construction industry. In this case,

60
00:03:31.740 --> 00:03:35.760
you should consider contacting the governance team to inform them of this, 

61
00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:37.160
and to arrange reasonable adjustments,

62
00:03:37.450 --> 00:03:41.640
which may include anything up to exemption from the CPD requirement 

63
00:03:41.640 --> 00:03:42.473
for the year.

64
00:03:42.590 --> 00:03:46.280
When you're ready to return to work, and to be professionally accountable again,

65
00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:50.600
you should create a one year forward CPD plan of how you're going to ensure

66
00:03:50.600 --> 00:03:51.800
your practice is current.

00:00:06.710 --> 00:00:08.610
Points and learning types.

1
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:14.740
A professional does continual learning to keep up to date.

2
00:00:15.820 --> 00:00:19.260
CIOB CPD policy helps you keep track of that learning with a point system.

3
00:00:19.460 --> 00:00:24.340
You probably already know you need to gain 10

4
00:00:24.340 --> 00:00:27.820
points in a subscription year, but how can you do it?

5
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.660
You need to reflect on what you have learned and how you will incorporate that

6
00:00:33.770 --> 00:00:36.340
into your work practice. Each time you do that,

7
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.820
you get points. You can reflect on little short bits of CPD

8
00:00:41.860 --> 00:00:43.380
for small numbers of points.

9
00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:45.620
You would need to do this a few times in the year.

10
00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:49.220
Or if you are committing a longer time to more formal learning,

11
00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:53.440
you'll get more points for reflecting on it. Here are some examples.

12
00:00:55.580 --> 00:00:58.760
For just one point, each time you reflect,

13
00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:00.800
you can do self-directed learning.

14
00:01:01.350 --> 00:01:04.640
That might be reading an article in CM Magazine,

15
00:01:05.050 --> 00:01:08.440
doing some research on a new product or technique you're gonna use at work,

16
00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:12.680
or maybe even watching one of CIOB's CPD webinars.

17
00:01:14.770 --> 00:01:17.390
For two points, you could do more work-based learning.

18
00:01:17.660 --> 00:01:20.990
It's a little bit more formal. It might be formal company training.

19
00:01:21.530 --> 00:01:24.670
It might be mentoring or coaching one of your colleagues.

20
00:01:24.980 --> 00:01:29.910
Perhaps it's one of the site visits that CIOB hub staff organizes CPD.

21
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:34.410
Reflect on it, and you can earn two points.

22
00:01:36.880 --> 00:01:41.750
Three points might be earned by attending and engaging in conferences and

23
00:01:41.750 --> 00:01:46.230
seminars. That means asking questions at webinars or round tables,

24
00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:50.990
maybe by attending a workshop for MCIOB or FCIOB,

25
00:01:51.370 --> 00:01:54.390
or perhaps you take a day off, commit a bit more time,

26
00:01:54.690 --> 00:01:57.390
and go to an external short course or a training event.

27
00:01:57.810 --> 00:02:01.950
If you reflect on what you learned there, you can gain three CPD points.

28
00:02:04.820 --> 00:02:08.680
If you contribute to the discipline of construction management,

29
00:02:09.230 --> 00:02:13.000
then you can earn five CPD points for any reflection that you do.

30
00:02:13.150 --> 00:02:17.360
This might be producing new research into some aspect of the discipline.

31
00:02:17.580 --> 00:02:19.640
It might be engaging in policy development,

32
00:02:19.910 --> 00:02:23.600
perhaps with the council or even with some government bodies.

33
00:02:24.250 --> 00:02:29.080
Maybe you present at a conference, or you do one of CIOB's webinars for us.

34
00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:32.180
Lastly,

35
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:36.980
if you are engaged in formal learning that is a big commitment of time.

36
00:02:37.450 --> 00:02:40.820
Perhaps you're doing a degree or an NVQ.

37
00:02:41.110 --> 00:02:43.380
Maybe you're a graduate and you're doing CIOB's

38
00:02:43.480 --> 00:02:48.380
PDP program. Or the year in which you apply for your

39
00:02:48.380 --> 00:02:51.540
professional review at MCIOB or FCIOB,

40
00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:55.380
you'll get 10 points. Our certifications are similar.

41
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.480
If you go for chartered environmentalists or one of our building conservation

42
00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:00.960
specialist roles.

43
00:03:01.580 --> 00:03:05.440
You can earn 10 points when you reflect on some aspect of your learning from that.

44
00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:08.900
Lastly,

45
00:03:09.050 --> 00:03:13.380
here is an overview of all the different levels of points that you can gain from

46
00:03:13.380 --> 00:03:14.660
doing different activities.

Summary

00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:09.560
Reflective learning and recording.

1
00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:12.930
Central to CIOB's policy

2
00:00:12.930 --> 00:00:17.410
on CPD and ethical practice, is the act of reflecting on your learning.

3
00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:21.810
Reflection is looking back at an action you have taken or been involved in,

4
00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:24.530
and thinking about what you did, what you've learned,

5
00:00:24.830 --> 00:00:29.170
and how you'll apply that to the future. If you do this in your work,

6
00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:31.530
then you're doing reflective practice.

7
00:00:32.790 --> 00:00:36.530
CIOB's CPD points are gained by reflecting on the learning you do

8
00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:40.170
throughout the year, and if you're called for audit of your CPD,

9
00:00:40.430 --> 00:00:44.410
it is the reflective accounts and points that will be your evidence.

10
00:00:47.410 --> 00:00:50.110
You can record your CPD any way you like,

11
00:00:50.490 --> 00:00:54.830
but any audit must be submitted on the CIOB's CPD record form.

12
00:00:55.610 --> 00:00:59.230
So we'll look at that, as it gives us a template for the reflective accounts.

13
00:00:59.930 --> 00:01:04.750
You can find it on the CPD webpage. Scroll down and download the form.

14
00:01:08.350 --> 00:01:10.330
The main part of the forum looks like this,

15
00:01:10.990 --> 00:01:13.450
and you fill in the boxes and save it to your files.

16
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.630
Let's look at the different sections.

17
00:01:21.310 --> 00:01:25.360
This is just a title and what kind of activity you did.

18
00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:30.640
Was it a webinar, or a site visit, or a training course with your work?

19
00:01:31.420 --> 00:01:34.560
You get up to 100 words, but you won't need many for this part.

20
00:01:37.080 --> 00:01:42.070
The learning outcome is where you write what it was that you

21
00:01:42.070 --> 00:01:42.903
learned,

22
00:01:43.180 --> 00:01:47.790
like one main thing that you will take away from the CPD activity.

23
00:01:48.650 --> 00:01:52.430
It should be something to do with ethical practice, i.e.

24
00:01:52.600 --> 00:01:57.190
doing the right thing, and thinking about the implications and follow on from

25
00:01:57.190 --> 00:02:00.710
that. So not just improving the bottom line,

26
00:02:01.250 --> 00:02:04.350
but doing the right thing throughout your work.

27
00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:11.990
Finally, you need to reflect on the impact at work.

28
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:17.630
What impact will your learning have on your practice, in your job? 

29
00:02:17.630 --> 00:02:22.150
Maybe you will change the way you or your company do something.

30
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.950
Maybe you'll weigh up different issues before making a decision,

31
00:02:26.380 --> 00:02:31.230
like buying a product or working with colleagues. And then lastly,

32
00:02:31.410 --> 00:02:35.430
you write down the points you've gained for this CPD: 1 to 10.

33
00:02:35.940 --> 00:02:38.830
There's another video about the different levels of points.
