What happens in a BABCP CPD audit?

At accreditation renewal, BABCP will review your CPD record to confirm that you have maintained the required 30 hours per year. A clear, categorised log that shows the range and relevance of your CPD activity โ€” including CBT-specific training, supervision, and self-directed learning โ€” gives the strongest possible evidence of your ongoing professional development.

Verified supervision โ€” the HourlyCPD difference

BABCP accreditation requires ongoing clinical supervision in CBT. This must be documented separately from your CPD hours. HourlyCPD's supervision log lets you record each supervision session with your supervisor's name and qualifications, session notes, and the specific accreditation body it relates to. The optional supervisor verification feature on Pro+ allows your CBT supervisor to digitally confirm sessions โ€” providing strong independent evidence for your accreditation renewal.

  • Send your supervisor a secure magic link by email
  • They confirm the session and add notes โ€” no account needed
  • Verified sessions are marked in your audit export (Pro+)
  • Per-membership โ€” track supervisors for each body separately

BABCP CPD โ€” frequently asked questions

How many CPD hours do BABCP accredited therapists need?

BABCP requires accredited members to complete a minimum of 30 hours of CPD per year. This is one of the conditions for maintaining accreditation. CPD must be relevant to your CBT practice and should include a variety of activity types.

What CPD activities count for BABCP?

BABCP accepts a broad range: CBT workshops and training days, conferences, online courses, clinical reading, peer consultation, CBT-focused supervision, personal therapy where it relates to professional development, and teaching or presenting on CBT topics.

Do I need to record supervision separately from CPD for BABCP?

Yes. BABCP treats supervision and CPD as distinct requirements. Your supervision record should document the frequency, duration, and content of your CBT supervision, while your CPD record covers your formal and informal learning activities. HourlyCPD maintains both records in the same account.

What happens if I don't meet the BABCP CPD requirement?

Failing to meet the annual 30-hour minimum can put your BABCP accreditation at risk. If you are reviewed and cannot demonstrate adequate CPD, you may be required to provide additional evidence or risk losing your accredited status. Keeping a running log throughout the year โ€” rather than trying to reconstruct it at renewal โ€” is the safest approach.
