Your CPD Record appears in two places:

2. My other training

Plus see the note below about training undertaken prior to 24 May 2023.

Within ‘My 20:20 Innovation training’ you can see a visual representation of the progress you have made on each of your webinar bookings. This ‘tracking’ only applies to activity undertaken since 24th May 2023 and will build over time. A copy of any previous CPD bookings would have been exported from the previous 20:20 Innovation website and can be separately downloaded within ‘My account’.

At the top of both ‘My 20:20 Innovation training’ and ‘My other training’ you can see how your hours are stacking up against any verifiable and total CPD hours targets that you’ve input in the My Account area.

From both ‘My 20:20 Innovation training’ and ‘My other training’, you can use the ‘Export CPD Data as CSV’ button at the top of the page. This allows you to easily share your CPD records or to undertake any further data analysis.

Please note that both ‘My 20:20 Innovation training’ and ‘My other training’ is organised per calendar year. Some professional bodies may set and monitor CPD requirements for alternative periods but you can use the CSV function described above to produce reports for any period that you require. Also, in relation to the ICAEW, their CPD year runs from 1 November to 31 October, but they have been clear that they will refer to a firm’s own CPD management year (such as calendar years) in their monitoring and so there is no requirement to maintain CPD records on a 31 October year-end basis.

CPD certificates for each webinar can be obtained from the ‘My 20:20 Innovation training’ section under ‘Downloads’. Please note the number of CPD hours on the certificate for a webinar will mirror the amount of time you have actually spent watching the course. To obtain the maximum CPD hours for the session, you will need to complete the training session in full.

These CPD certificates will only relate to training that you have started to watch on the new 20:20 Innovation website, since Spring 2023.

CPD certificates for training that took place prior to Spring 2023 would have been emailed to you after each training session took place. Please search for emails from webinars@the2020group.com and check your junk folder.

Select the 'Purchases' section which will display all your purchases and a copy of any relevant invoices.

Administrators and Training Co-Ordinators can see what training their team has booked on and how much CPD they’ve undertaken, across 20:20 Innovation and other sources.

To do this, select the 'My team’s training' section where you can see how each of your team are doing against input CPD hour requirements, use the plus buttons to drill down into more detail, filter by office, professional body or ICAEW CPD categories and produce useful csv reports.

The ‘CC’ icon will turn green and English subtitles will then appear at the bottom of the webinar screen once the webinar is in session. To turn off the subtitles, select the “CC” icon, the button will turn grey, and the subtitles will be turned off.

For recorded webinars that have already taken place

Choose the relevant webinar with My 20:20 Innovation Training, select the ‘CC’ icon on the bottom right of the webinar screen, and then ‘English (auto generated) CC’.

In order to connect and listen to a webinar via a smartphone or tablet you simply need to download the GoToWebinar App on IOS or Android which is free from the App Store or Google Play Store.

You can listen to the presenters using your laptop/desktop speakers on your computer, tablet or smartphone or by using a headset. Once you are connected to the webinar, a box will appear on the right-hand side of the screen where you can post any questions for the speaker to make it truly interactive.

Multiple delegates from a firm may attend the same webinar but they need a separate registration to ensure they receive their CPD tracking. Multiple attendees using the same registration link to connect to the webinar results in a deterioration of the audio and picture quality.

Group webinar viewing is a great way to create a constructive training session! 20:20 Innovation will track the webinar progress of the individual(s) whose account is used to facilitate the group viewing. For all other individuals (and for any additional time spent in group discussion on the topic of the webinar), this should be recorded by them as Other CPD. This can be done in ‘My other training’, with the webinar name and duration (which can include any group discussions after / during the webinar). This can be marked as verified if the firm has maintained an attendance list of who watched the webinar.

Simply book on the webinar using the ‘Book Training’ button in your Dashboard and follow through the booking process. You will then be able to access a copy of the recording in ‘My 20:20 Innovation training’.

Your 20:20 Innovation dashboard includes the facility to include any training and learning you do in addition to your 20:20 Innovation webinars.

In ‘My other training’ you will initially see a data notice to confirm that the other training you enter will be visible to your firm’s ‘training coordinators’ and administrators and used to ensure firm-wide CPD compliance. Once you’ve agreed to this, you will have the functionality to record other training across a wide spectrum of areas and search and report on this for your own future reference and CPD records. You are also able to mark training as ‘verified’ if this is the case and make a note of where you’ve saved the evidence of this.

Do remember that your CPD records need to include your initial planning and your reflections on the effectiveness of the training.

To further assist with this, 20:20 Innovation members have access to Training Plan Resources. This includes a Training Plan and CPD Record where frequently required CPD processes can be documented. This includes:

• Planning your training for the year ahead
• Reflecting on the training received and whether it has effectively met the training need identified
• Space to record your 20:20 Innovation CPD hours (as exported from ‘My 20:20 Innovation Training’)
• Space to record other CPD obtained e.g. from other providers or from technical reading or meeting attendance (as exported from ‘My other training’ if in use).

The Training Plan and CPD Record also includes links to the latest CPD guidance from a wide range of professional bodies.

Unless otherwise prescribed by your professional body (where applicable) and/or your employer, you can document your reflections in a range of ways. To assist with this, 20:20 Innovation members have access to Training Plan Resources. This includes a Training Plan and CPD Record where frequently required CPD processes can be documented. This includes space to reflect on training booked and undertaken. There is also a CPD Reflection Tool for individuals who wish to record their reflections on a webinar-by-webinar basis.
