Retaining your IMI TechSafe recognition
A vital aspect of the Professional Register and IMI TechSafe is ensuring members remain current in their knowledge, skills, and competency. Therefore, CPD is required to maintain IMI TechSafe recognition. We’ve streamlined this process so that any CPD you complete with the IMI is automatically logged, allowing you to focus on other priorities. You must complete your CPD with an approved Awarding Organisation and be aligned with the CPD framework, set and agreed upon by the IMI and the IMI TechSafe Sector Advisory Group.
