With new CPD requirements applying from 2013, it's more important than ever to make sure that Financial Planners work out an effective personal development plan as part of their overall training and competence scheme.
As many planners know, gaining relevant and useful CPD is not always straightforward as content of seminars and events can often disappoint.
However many IFP members are overlooking the significant value to be gained by attending their local IFP branch meetings.

Not only are these meetings free of charge but they're a great way to gain structured CPD on topics which have been selected for content and relevance by other Financial Planning professionals.
They also provide the opportunity to discuss topics in detail with other Financial Planners and Paraplanners.
