RE-ACCREDITATION

Self-directed CPD (Continuing Professional Development)

Accreditation with AoF lasts for three years. AoF’s re-accreditation process is straightforward and is designed to promote self-regulation and to encourage ongoing professional and personal development. CPD is largely a self-directed activity, however support and contact points are available throughout the process.

In order to become re-accredited, participants are required to

• during each of years 2 and 3, attend a minimum of either
  • one Learning Day (in person)
  • two Seminars (online) or one-to-one Supervision sessions (online or in person) or one of each

…or provide evidence of comparable CPD activities. Do contact us to check equivalence in advance.

• Prior to your accreditation expiring in year 3, review and update your previous application to ensure it reflects any change in focus of practice, any competencies that have been developed/consolidated and to record key insights and learning. This is a short reflection exercise, and a simple consolidation and editing process that should take no more than 1-2 hours, assuming you have tracked your learning.
• Prior to your accreditation expiring in year 3, submit your updated application to us and arrange for a support call prior to your re-accreditation interview which can be online.
• On successful completion, your accreditation is renewed for three further years, and subject to you meeting the requirements above and in our Code of Practice.
