As an accredited assessor, you must complete a continuing professional development log to demonstrate your:
- continued engagement with the Biodiversity Assessment Method
- maintenance of technical skills.
Continuing professional development in the Biodiversity Offsets Scheme supports continuous improvement in the application of the Biodiversity Assessment Method by all participants.
Accredited Assessor Continuing Professional Development Log Guideline
The Accredited Assessor Continuing Professional Development Log Guideline describes how assessors should address continuing professional development. Assessors are strongly encouraged to read the guideline to help them understand how to address and record their continuing professional development.
You must record your annual continuing professional development in the Log template [DOCX 123 KB]. We recommend recording your activities during your accreditation term.
An alternative approach to recording continuing professional development is available in limited circumstances. This may apply to you if:
- you are active in the Biodiversity Assessment Method and Biodiversity Offsets Scheme
- your work does not precisely fit the annual activity continuing professional development requirements.
Please refer to section 6 of the Accredited Assessor Continuing Professional Development Log Guideline for further information. If you wish to request an alternative approach, please use the Continuing Professional Development Request for consideration form [PDF 127 KB].
