CPD Requirements
Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Requirements

APSO therefore stipulates that all registered professionals must record a minimum of 30 CPD points in a 12-month period. Failure to achieve the required CPD points will result in the designation being revoked.CPD points are achieved through a variety of recognised CPD activities, both formal and informal, where points are allocated based on the type and duration of the activity. Examples of CPD activities include:

  • E-Learning
  • Webinars
  • CV
  • Enterprise Development
  • Reading
  • Coaching
  • Seminars
  • Quizz
  • Workshops
  • Industry Service
  • Publishing
  • Networking

CPD points can be earned through industry (and related) activities as well as through in-house training etc. All you need to do is to ensure that you have proof of the activity, e.g. certificate, and then upload it to your profile on the website. The CPD guide provides the CPD points value for various types of CPD activities.

APSO will ensure that a robust calendar of events, including webinars, quizzes, conferences and training is available to members although CPD activities done in-house or via external sources will also be CPD worthy.
