INTRODUCTION This document serves as a supporting document for users of the ecpd Financial Services website. Within this document there are steps to explain how to use the CPD Manager on the website. WHAT IS YOUR CPD MANAGER The CPD Manager is built to enable you to automatically file your electronic certificates achieved on ecpd and enable you to upload electronic certificates earned at other CPD events. You can download your complete CPD record from your CPD Manager for submission to FPI or another governing body. Your CPD Manager is completely private and cannot be viewed by other users. Page 3 HOW TO USE YOUR CPD MANAGER Please follow these steps to effectively use your CPD Manager. ACCESS YOUR CPD MANAGER AT ANY TIME STEP 1 Once you have logged in with your unique username and password you will view the front page.
STEP 2 To access the CPD Manager you need to go the CPD Manager block in the top right-hand corner. Inside the block you need to click on View Complete Report which is located at the bottom of the block: Page 4 STEP 3 Now that you have clicked on the View Complete Report you will see the following screen (if you have completed courses and claimed their certificates in the past): In this screen you will see your points earned in the last 3 years. The word Current will be under in the column of the current year that you are in.
