Making Professional Development easier with Career Manager
Published: Wed 23 Sep 2026
We've introduced a range of improvements to make Career Manager even easier to use, whether you're recording CPD, preparing an application, or managing your professional profile.
Professional registration applications
Better guidance to help you succeed
We've enhanced the guidance throughout the professional registration application process to make it easier to demonstrate your experience, competence and professional commitment.
Updated help and guidance now provide clearer information on what assessors are looking for and how to present your experience in line with UK-SPEC and the ICTTech standard.
Greater confidence when completing your application
New prompts help prevent information from being lost if you leave a page before saving. We've also improved notifications within the application process so you can make informed decisions when editing information that has already been reviewed.
The review application page has a new layout to walk you through the steps that you should take before sending your application to your supporter. You’re encouraged to preview your application and download a copy of your application to ensure that it is complete and correct before you send it to your supporter for final verification.
Smarter CPD planning and recording
Link your CPD to professional registration
You can now connect your CPD goals to specific Professional Registration competencies, helping you plan your development and build evidence towards registration as you progress in your career.
Save time with CPD Quick Codes
Recording CPD is now quicker and easier with CPD Quick Codes.
When you enter a Quick Code, key information about an activity is automatically added for you. Simply review the details, add your reflection, and decide whether to link it to one of your development goals.
Quick Codes are available across a growing range of IET activities, including professional development courses, technical events and selected content.
If a Quick Code isn't available, you can still add your activity manually as normal.
Professional registration support
Members taking part in IET-accredited development schemes can request professional registration support from the IET.
Support includes:
- An overview of professional registration requirements and the assessment process.
- Guidance on your readiness to apply throughout your registration journey and completing your application.
- Access to expert volunteer support.
Designed to be accessible
We're committed to ensuring Career Manager is accessible and easy to use for everyone.
Accessibility improvements have been made across Career Manager, including professional registration and Fellowship applications, CPD recording, your professional profile and support pages, helping create a better experience for users of assistive technologies.
Help when you need it
Guidance and support are available throughout Career Manager.
Look for the blue information icon across the platform to access helpful advice, explanations and resources designed to help you get the most from Career Manager and your professional development.
Access Career Manager anywhere
Career Manager works seamlessly across desktop, tablet and mobile devices, allowing you to record CPD, track applications and manage your development wherever you are.
For even quicker access, you can add a Career Manager shortcut to your mobile device's home screen and use it just like an app.
