Your CPD Portfolio page shows all the courses you have completed or are completing with CPD College and the
12
stage of completion on each. When courses are completed your CPD record and completion certificate are
generated and are accessible from this page. Your CPD Portfolio link is on the right hand side or at the bottom
of the CPD College home page (as seen below). This at available to access at any stage during the year. Just
log on and download your records/certificates whenever you wish.

Within 48 hours (usually much less) of you requesting completion, you will be sent an email and your status
page will be updated with the result of the facilitator review of your CPD record. If the facilitator requires
more information then you will be sent an email to that effect. In this instance you will have to add additional
information to your contributions and request completion again. The facilitator will outline exactly what is
required in your feedback email.

If the facilitator deems that your CPD record fully meets the acceptable standard criteria then your email will
state that and there will be specific feedback given. At this point your status page will be updated with the
facilitator feedback and your certificate will be generated.
