Throughout the IfA ''Code of conduct'' there runs a requirement for practitioners to maintain and be aware of their levels of knowledge and skill. Without such maintenance and awareness, archaeologists cannot hope to uphold the principles and adhere to the rules laid down in the Code. The IfA sees Continuing Professional Development (CPD) as a principal means of sustaining and developing archaeologists, the profession of archaeology and standards, and so IfA is committed to CPD as a means of securing good practice and high standards amongst its members. Both new applicants for membership and existing members are expected to undertake at least 50 hours CPD in any two-year period and CPD is madatory for corporate members. The CPD pages of the IfA web site can be found at: [http://www.archaeologists.net/development/cpd]
