From 2024 onwards you will no longer be required to submit an annual return.

Your CPD hours, as before, must be completed by 31st December, 2024.

Each year from November onwards, we will periodically check your CPD log and when it shows that you have met the required CPD hours, your return will be submitted automatically. You will receive an email confirmation to notify you of this submission, which will be available in the correspondence section of your IOB Learn account.

If you have not met your CPD hour requirements a return will be submitted for you in January showing a shortfall in CPD hours. The uncompleted hours from the previous year will be added to your annual requirement for the current year. A shortfall warning will also be added to your account. Two shortfalls in a five year period will result in the removal of your designation and you would be subject to reinstatement rules.
