The RTPI Core CPD Framework provides a comprehensive overview of the core CPD planners need to meet the planning challenges of today and the future.

The RTPI uses the framework to shape the CPD delivered by the Institute. It was developed with input from members, employers and the wider profession, highlighting the skills and knowledge our members need to meet current and future planning challenges.

At least 50 hours of CPD should be undertaken in each 2-year period, which is less than 30 minutes each week.

You can record your CPD online on your profile page - read our guidelines for more information.
