Continuing Professional Development

Our CPD programme has been endorsed by IMCA and is mandatory for eCMID AVIs to maintain their accreditation. The programme has also been aligned with other Professional Bodies, Institutes and Learned Societies.

How our eCMID AVI CPD programme works
Accredited inspectors are required to achieve a minimum of 10 CPD points accrued over a fixed one-year period, e.g. 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2026. After the one year term the system will be reset back to zero.

For example: eCMID Accredited Vessel Inspector A. N. Other submits two eCMID reports over one year (total 4 points). They then subscribe to two professional journals (2 points) and attend one IMCA or IIMS organised event (4 points). A. N. Other has now accrued the 10 points that are required.

The eCMID vessel inspector CPD programme is managed by our eCMID AVI team and all questions can be answered by contacting them directly. Periodically you will be reminded by email about your CPD points status. A guide to the points values and how to earn them can be found by downloading the PDF below.

Accredited inspectors can download and use our dedicated eCMID CPD app to submit their CPD claims. For full details, please view our eCMID CPD Leaflet.
