CPD with IQ
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is the process of continual improvement and personal development that supports your career. It is a process of documenting your knowledge, skills and experiences as you progress through your working life.
We believe that undertaking CPD is a way of ensuring that the qualifications that you have earned are kept up to date.
The Institute is here to promote the professionalism of people working within the minerals products industry. Professionalism is created through a combination of work experience and qualifications.
Clay Quarry Manager CPD Scheme
Clay Quarry Manager CPD Scheme
Continual Professional Development (CPD) is mandatory for all individuals who have clay quarry management responsibilities as part of their job role, as set out in the Quarry Regulations 1999.
Building on the IQ CPD Scheme, the Clay Quarry Manager CPD Scheme is very similar but involves the sector Clay Quarry Competence Group in the annual CPD assessment process. This helps to ensure that CPD is appropriate for the Clay Quarry Management roles carried out and that support is provided where needed.

What is the IQ Skills Wheel?
IQ Skills Wheel originally set out to provide professionals with an overview of the core skills and areas of knowledge that they could develop to progress their learning, knowledge and careers.
Today, it continues to do so, with the extension of the Personal Development Wheel, which allows professionals to map out their learning and improve in the areas needed to boost their careers.
IQ Members can access the personal development wheel tool via the Member Portal.
