<p>We do things in our everyday lives that contribute towards CPD, attendance at presentations, giving presentations, reading industry literature. the problem is we dont note these things down enough and its always a last minute panic to ensure that we get the required points in on time.

Having been in the industry 10 years there&#8217;s been an awful lot of note taking. CDM is about experiences coupled with theoretical knowledge but you can never really gain from a book what you can in a meeting or discussion on site.</p>
<p>As chartered professionals we should be maintaining this level of attention to CPD to really demonstrate our skills but sadly this is done enough.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve just put a powerpoint presentation together on the merits of the CDM regs for an Architectural practice this was certainly worth a few CD points anyway.</p>
