Continuous Professional Development

Continuous Professional Development

Non-Professional Members

All members are encouraged to use the continuing professional development (CPD) function to record CPD activities. This will be especially helpful for Student and Early HFE Career members who plan on applying for Professional Member status at some point.

Professional Members

All Professional Members (since 1 April 2025) must complete suitable CPD records.

• CPD must be submitted by the 30 April each year.

There are two parts to completing annual CPD. Professional Members must submit a suitable:

• Completed annual CPD record. This provide evidence of at least 5 completed CPD activities totally at least 30 hours over the past year.
• Forward plan. This plan outlines 3 CPD activities you plan on completing for the following year. For example, what you want to learn, or 3 goals you want to achieve in the next 12 months. 

Please note we are currently making changes to the online CPD activities log. In the meantime we have a document that you can enter the information into and submit to: profmember@hfesnz.org.nz by 30 April 2026. 

Here is the document you can use to complete your annual CPD: Annual CPD Record.
