The GDC asks you to keep your CPD records for five years from the end of your five-year cycle, so you may need to keep some evidence for up to ten years.
- Keep every certificate and the rest of your CPD records for each cycle.
- Download each CPD year's reports and certificates from the app: see How do I download my CPD reports and certificates?
- Copy them to storage you control, so you still have them if you ever stop subscribing.
