How to use our resources
We recommend assessing your capability and building a personal development plan first. This helps you focus on resources that address your identified gaps. Then follow these three steps.
-
Learn – watch, listen or read
Choose a resource that matches your development goals. Take notes on the key points and insights. Think actively about what you’re learning.
-
Record in Blueprint
Log your activity as CPD activity in IOSH Blueprint. You’ll need the title, date, duration and a reflection of what you learned. Please note: the CPD hours listed for our resources are a guide as everyone learns at different paces.
-
Apply and reflect
Think about how you’ll apply what you’ve learned. What will you do differently? How will this improve your practice or skills.
