Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Framework

Elevate Your Competence. Prove Your Value.

At the QHSE Association, we believe that professional growth never stops. Our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) framework is designed to help Health, Safety, and Quality professionals track their learning, validate their skills, and gain industry-recognized status.

What is the QHSE CPD Program?

The QHSE CPD Program is a structured digital platform that allows members to record their training, conferences, self-study, and practical activities. Unlike paper logbooks, our system provides digital verification. Every activity you log is audited by our administration team to ensure it meets international standards.

By maintaining an active CPD record, you demonstrate to employers and clients that your knowledge is current, relevant, and verified.

🏆 The Membership Tiers

Your status is determined by your Lifetime Earned Points. Note that to maintain “Active” status in higher tiers, you must log at least 5 points per year.

🗺 The CPD Member Flow

To help your members visualize the process, here is the step-by-step flowchart:

Phase 1: Planning

• 1. Access Dashboard: Log in to your QHSE Member Portal.

• 2. Set Your Target: Select your target Job Profile (e.g., Safety Manager) to see your Competency Radar.

• 3. Create a PDP: Use the Personal Development Plan tool to set point goals for the year.

Phase 2: Action & Logging

• 4. Engage in Learning: Complete courses or professional activities.

• 5. Log Activity: Use the “Log New Activity” form.

  • Note: You must upload evidence (PDF/JPG) and provide a supervisor’s email for verification.

Phase 3: Verification & Achievement

• 6. Supervisor Vouching: Your supervisor receives a secure link to digitally sign your record.

• 7. Admin Audit: Our team reviews the evidence for final approval.

• 8. Unlock Rewards: As points accumulate, your Tier Badge updates, and new resources are unlocked in your library.

• 9. Share Your Success: Add your verified certificates directly to your LinkedIn Profile.

Key Features of Your Dashboard

We have built a state-of-the-art Member Dashboard designed to make managing your career easy:

• Digital Logbook: A centralized, secure archive of all your certificates and training history. You never have to worry about losing a physical certificate again.

• Official Verification: Upload your evidence (PDFs/Images), and our team will verify the authenticity. Once approved, your points are officially locked in.

• Expiry Reminders: Our system automatically tracks the expiry dates of your certifications. You will receive an email notification 30 days before a credential expires, ensuring you remain compliant.

• Email Signature Badge: Generate a professional email signature directly from your dashboard that displays your current Tier (Gold/Silver/Bronze) and a link to your verified profile.

Public Verification & Transparency

We provide complete transparency for employers, auditors, and clients. Every member is assigned a unique Participant ID (e.g., QHSE-2025-001). Employers can enter this ID or your name into our Public Verification Portal to instantly confirm:

• Your current Membership Status.

• Your Active CPD Points.

• The validity of your specific qualifications.
