Learning and CPD

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) refers to the learning activities professionals undertake to develop and maintain their skills throughout their careers.

Whether you are early in your career or a senior leader, CPD supports both personal development and wider business performance. It helps you stay current in a fast-moving industry, respond to regulatory and market change, remain compliant, and continue to add value to your organisation at every career stage.

Many professional bodies require professionals to complete a specified level of CPD annually to retain membership or professional status, with CPD also forming part of certain regulatory requirements.

For our industry, CPD plays an important role in maintaining high standards, reinforcing Jersey’s reputation as a well-run and forward-thinking international finance centre and supporting the long-term sustainability of our sector.

Being a member of CPD UK allows us to assess our events and selected content against established CPD standards, ensuring the learning we provide is relevant, structured and of a consistent quality.

For our Members, this offers reassurance that CPD-accredited activity has been reviewed against clear criteria and is designed to support genuine professional development.

CPD related questions

What is CPD?

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) covers many types of learning, and helps you maintain and develop your professional skills and knowledge throughout your career.

Why is CPD important?

CPD supports personal development, strengthens businesses and helps maintain high standards across Jersey’s finance industry. Some professional bodies require a set number of CPD hours or points to be completed annually to qualify for Membership.

Are Jersey Finance events CPD accredited?

Jersey Finance is a member of CPD UK. Many of our events, seminars and webinars are CPD accredited.

What types of activities can count towards CPD?

Depending on the content, CPD-eligible activities from Jersey Finance may include:
• Seminars
• Workshops
• Webinars
• Conferences and events
• Educational podcasts

Will my professional body accept your certificates?

Where a Jersey Finance event or other content meets the criteria, staff of Member firms can claim a certificate proving your participation. While we confirm the content meets CPD UK standards, different professional bodies have different requirements and point-allocation rules. It is your responsibility to determine whether any event or content meets the criteria set by your own professional body and how many points you can claim.

Is any other activity applicable for CPD points?

Depending on your professional body’s approach, reading some of our reports, insights and articles may also count towards CPD. Please refer to your professional body’s guidelines on reading-based CPD. Please note that we are unable to provide certificates of completion for this type of activity.

Can I claim CPD for webinars or on-demand viewing?

Yes. Selected live and on-demand webinars are CPD eligible where they meet the criteria.

How do I claim a CPD certificate?

Email cpd@jerseyfinance.com with:

  • the event or webinar name
  • the completion date

We’ll email your certificate.

How many CPD points can I claim?

This depends on your professional body. Jersey Finance provides certificates which include the length of time the educational portion of the event lasted for, but point allocation is determined by your own requirements.

An event lasted several hours, but my certificate shows less time – why?

CPD certificates reflect the educational content only. This means time spent networking, on breaks or in non-learning activities is excluded from the total CPD duration shown on your certificate.

Does CPD accreditation meet my professional body’s rules?

Professional bodies have different CPD criteria. It’s your responsibility to confirm eligibility.

Is CPD content included in membership?

Yes. Access to CPD-accredited content is a benefit of Jersey Finance membership.
