I have a CPD log-it`s called a detailed c.v.
Just to stir the water here a bit........why are IfA members asked to account for 50 hours a year on a CPD log when a registered IfA org is only visited every six years? And why does that visit involve an assessment about as comprehensive and probing as Doctor David Kellys` post mortem? To be fair-most practising archaeologists would embrace an opportunity to further their skill-sets through recognised and structured training. To be even fairer...most practising archaeologists with a goodly few miles under their belts become realists and accept that any new scheme has to stand on its merits. Sadly-the CPD idea in archaeology is a bit of a non-starter for most and for a wide range of reasons.
