Members who maintain both a QFA and CIP may claim up to 4 hours CPD in 2026 for reading and assimilating the content of the Annual Update Manual relevant to their accreditation status.

Reading the CPD Annual Update Manual on its own does not satisfy the Annual Update requirement.

You should determine the amount of CPD you wish to claim for completing the CPD Annual Update Manual, based on your personal development needs and the requirements of the CII CPD Scheme.

If relevant to your development needs, you may select:

CPD Annual Update Manual 2026 (4 Hours CPD)

"Only to be used if you hold a QFA and/or ACII/FCII (if relevant to your development needs as detailed under CII CPD scheme rules)."
