I regularly update my CPD log......but then again I am a pedant bordering on OCD.
We have a training plan document that is discussed and added to during a yearly appraisal which sets out what you want to learn or gain experience in in the forthcoming year....
and a CPD log which is a simple table that records any training be it on a course, external trainers coming in, internal training e.g. 'how to do...', self training e.g. research.
I agree that site inductions are not part of CPD unless of course you had a really good one that actually taught you something that is a) a true reflection of HSE guidelines or b) actually about safety (unlikely). CSCS would be, well preparing for, though now it's 'health, safety and environment operatives test'.
I guess I'd say put anything down where you feel you have learned something, especially if you want to use it as part of a cv.
Oh, and Dino......I guess you can't teach an old dog (or dinosaur) new tricks. }
