Stage 3: Professional Skills Training

The Professional Skills Training is Stage 3 of the IFoA’s 3-stage mandatory Professional Skills Training.

 

Stage 3 is an annual requirement to complete a minimum of 2 hours of Professional Skills Training for members who are subject to the CPD Scheme 2020 (effective from 1 September 2020).

All members to whom the CPD Scheme effective 1 September 2020 applies, need to complete 2 hours of Professional Skills Training annually, defined in the CPD Scheme as 'CPD Activities with a Learning Outcome related to managing professional ethical challenges'.

Online resources for members

The IFoA develops new online content each year to assist members in meeting these requirements.

This includes video case studies and other resources which can be accessed via the Professional Skills Hub. We publish content twice each CPD year at 6 monthly intervals – going forward this will be in September and March.
