Do the revised CPD Regulations apply to you?

To understand your CPD requirements we use a series of simple questions about your relationship with ICAEW and your day-to-day work. Please answer these questions as best as you can to get the most accurate result.

The CPD year runs from 1 November until 31 October. If your circumstances change during the year, you can take the assessment again at any time to understand whether your CPD requirements are different.

Before we begin, do you already know whether you fall within the scope of the revised CPD Regulations or would you like to check if you're exempt?
