CPD Hours Calculator (Free Tool)
Find out exactly how many CPD hours you need this year — and how many you still have to log before the deadline.
Launch the tool
Free to use, no signup needed for the calculation. (If the link above isn't live yet, our team is finalising the deployment — bookmark this page and check back this week, or drop your email below to get notified the moment it goes live.)
How it works
- Pick your professional body. Currently supports 7 bodies: ACCA, ICAEW, CIMA, AAT, CIOT, IIA-UK, and CFE.
- Enter your CPD year-end date so we can calculate days remaining.
- Log your hours so far — total, verifiable, structured, and ethics if applicable.
- Get your exact gap — what's left to close, broken down by category.
Why this matters
Most CPD non-compliance happens because professionals lose track of mid-year totals, miscount what counts as "verifiable" vs "unverifiable", or assume their employer-provided training fully covers them.
This tool replaces the spreadsheet. Instant, accurate, no signup.
What's behind it
The tool encodes the CPD rules for each supported body, including the specific verifiable / structured / ethics breakdowns each one requires. We update the rules quarterly to reflect any changes in the bodies' CPD policies.
| Body | Total hrs/yr | Verifiable | Structured | Ethics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ACCA | 40 | 21 | — | — |
| ICAEW | 40 | — | — | — |
| CIMA | Driven by personal CPD plan | — | — | — |
| AAT | 30 | — | — | — |
| CIOT | 90 (over 3 years) | — | — | — |
| IIA-UK | 40 | — | — | — |
| CFE (ACFE) | 20 | — | — | 2 |
After your calculation, the tool also recommends Learnsignal CPD courses matched to your body's specific rules — particularly useful if you discover you have a verifiable-hours gap to close before year-end.
