Institute of Quarrying follow the IDE lead by making CPD compulsory

The Institute of Quarrying follow the IDE lead by making CPD compulsory for all grades of member. It was called for by their members in a bid to raise standards even higher for those qualified to carry the letters FIQ, MIQ, and TMIQ.

The new CPD requirement for Technical Members (TMIQ), Members (MIQ) and Fellows (FIQ) will take effect 1 January 2015. It requires 35 hours minimum of Continuing Professional Development every single year, and annual audits will now call for a CPD record to be presented. Associate and Student grades are also being encouraged to partake in the CPD requirements, although it is not mandatory at those levels.
