Thursday 20 March 2008 - CPD and CLC

The CPD documentation was eventually sent off with one day to spare – primarily my fault for putting it off but also because at the last minute I had problems logging into the new CIPFA CLC to obtain one of the covering documents.

However, the CIPFA technical team was superb and had me logged in within a 24 hours period after allowing the system to update itself – so full marks to them. The CLC has recently come in for a bit of stick from students and I can see that if they were experiencing the sorts of problems I was it could be frustrating. However, the majority of the problems have been ironed out and although some lessons have probably been learnt on the way (e.g. checking cross browser compatibility) the actual resource is excellent.

Just have to wait now to see if the CPD assessors are satisfied with the documents - results due back within four weeks.
