You must have done one Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activity which is specifically relevant to training others in CBT for each of the past two years and provide Reflective Statements for the activities.

These include -

• attendance at workshops or courses relating to Training Practice and skills
• Taking part in our CBT Course Directors’ and Tutors’ meetings
• attendance at conferences and seminars relating to Training Practice, for example learning to use presentation skills, presentation aids such as PowerPoint or interactive whiteboards 
• involvement in relevant research
• relevant publications by you 
• reading relevant literature
• involvement with our Higher Education or other Training Special Interest Groups

We would not include provision of CBT training or supervision of your training as CPD as they are usual activities for trainers to carry out.
