Free CPD resources, exclusive to NICEIC-certified businesses
As an NICEIC-certified business, you’re up there with the industry’s most trusted and qualified tradespeople. As your certification body, it’s our job to help you keep it that way. Continuing professional development (CPD) is an integral part of being a successful NICEIC-certified business. Find out about the CPD requirements for you and your business, the benefits, and CPD resources available to you.
Since 2020, the EAS has required all electrotechnical certification bodies, including NICEIC, to ensure their certified businesses are completing continuing professional development and recording CPD. Your assessor will ask to see your CPD records to ensure that you and your staff are all putting time aside for learning and development.
