Manage Your Professional Development

Professional Development Diary Templates

The Professional Development Diary template helps you plan, record and review your experience throughout your placement. It makes it easy for you to manage your professional development, identify gaps in your knowledge and skills and record your experience in accordance with the UK Spec framework format. It gives you a good basis for the EngTech application and producing your Final placement report.

NOTE: Keeping your diary records is an optional activity.  It is not part of your placement year assessment scheme. 

Alternative ways of recording your experience

Professional Institutions offer to use their online CPD tools to record your work experience and evidence of commitment.  Normally, online CPD tools are available to student members registered with professional institutions.
