Importance of CPD

In order for Interpreters to stay on the register, the must complete a number of hours of CPD.

‘CPD can be gained through various ways:

  • Structured CPD is a professional development designed to achieve a particular learning outcome (i.e. workshops, seminars, conferences)
  • Unstructured CPD is a professional development that is not specifically designed or planned to achieve learning outcomes (i.e. reading, shadowing and informal meetings)
  • Deaf Community Engagement (DCE) is defined as attendance at Deaf community events and activities to maintain and improve Irish Sign Language receptive and productive skills and broadening knowledge and familiarity with Irish Deaf culture, history and politics (i.e. social events, fundraising events, trips)

Registrants are required to complete a minimum number of hours for each CPD Cycle (12-month period from the date of registration). ‘
