520			_aThe Standards and Regulation Board (SRB) has approved important changes to strengthen RICS’ Continuing Professional Development (CPD) framework, following a comprehensive review led by the CPD framework steering group. These updates aim to better support members’ lifelong learning, maintain professional standards and uphold public interest. Following a 12-week consultation period starting in April 2024, SRB has recently approved recommendations to strengthen the RICS CPD framework and its approach, as proposed by the CPD Framework Steering group. Key updates include: encouraging members to identify, plan, undertake, and reflect on CPD that is relevant, adequate and appropriate to their practice; giving members more flexibility in meeting yearly CPD requirements. For example, if members complete a long training programme like a Master’s degree, members can carry forward up to 15 CPD hours to the following year; mandatory topics to be covered every 3 years (including ethics, sustainability, AI and data & technology); an improved member experience by enabling easier planning and recording of CPD activities – including a new member app and improved CPD content; annually, members will declare that their CPD is relevant, adequate and appropriate , and fulfils RICS' CPD obligations. There have also been changes to exemptions, breaches and disciplinary action – you can find the details here. The updated CPD framework is expected to take effect no sooner than January 2026.
