As you are aware, it is a requirement that every member must earn CPD hours every year. Continuing professional development (CPD) is important because it ensures that you continue to be competent in your profession. It is an ongoing process and continues throughout a professional’s career. The ultimate outcome of well-planned continuing professional development is that it safeguards the public, the employer, the professional and the professional’s career.
The importance of continuing professional development should not be underestimated – it is a career-long obligation for professionals.
As a reminder, practitioners are supposed to earn 50 hours of CPD in a year while as non-practising members must gain 40 units of CPD.
