Demonstrating ongoing competence and why CPD still matters - Webinar

In this practical session, Redmill Advance explains what “ongoing competence” really means in a post-hours environment — and how firms can approach CPD in a way that is focused, defensible and audit-ready.

The FCA has removed the mandatory 15-hour CPD requirement for non-investment and long-term (GI & pure protection) insurance contracts.

Some may see this as an opportunity to do less. But, is that the right approach to take?While the hours rule has gone, the obligation to ensure individuals remain competent — and to evidence that competence — has not.

Firms must define what meaningful learning looks like, ensure it is proportionate to role and risk, and demonstrate that it has had real impact.

In this practical session, Redmill Advance explains what “ongoing competence” really means in a post-hours environment — and how firms can approach CPD in a way that is focused, defensible and audit-ready.

What This Session Covers

  • What has genuinely changed under the FCA rules — and what hasn’t
  • What regulators and professional bodies still expect to see
  • How to assess competence in practice
  • Structuring CPD so it is role-based and proportionate
  • Evidencing learning in a way that is simple, credible and evidenced
  • Why professional body standards, including CII CPD, continue to matter

This session moves beyond theory. It provides practical guidance firms can implement immediately.
