CALCULATING CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD) CREDIT UNITS (HOURS)

  • CPD Defined:

“ A commitment of professionals to enhance job-related knowledge, skills, competencies and proficiency   through learning and experience in their work and career”

  • Some more descriptions.

     An academic credit equates with 3 hours of learner engagement

   (includes ‘face to face’ teaching, learning facilitation, coaching, study or assignment work)

   A contact hour equates with 50 to 60 minutes.

   A Professional Certificate comprises 40 contact hours and 80 assignment hours. (Total of 120 hours)

  • Examples: Short courses/seminars (35hrs) In-house training (25hrs) Conferences/Meetings (15hrs)

   A typical Professional Certificate may comprise:

   Active Learning. Reflective Reading. Self-Directed study. Project or Assignment work

           40 hours   +       10 hours           +         10 hours         +         80 hours     = 140 hours or CPD credit units

YOU PORTFOLIO OF WORK EXPERIENCE

For your ‘Portfolio’ analysis, you will earn 100 points for every year of related work experience. Thus, for someone who has 20 years, this comes to 2000 points. Now, add your CPD credit points of 1150 to your work portfolio points of 2000, the total gives you 3150 points.

For your Professional Doctoral Level Award, you need 3000 points. So, in this example above, there are sufficient points. Note, this is not an Academic Degree

If you fall short, you will need to write a portfolio report, highlighting what you have learned about in your area of specialty, which might include materials from training courses, or copies of management reports that you have compiled in your work. A typical portfolio report should be between 3000 to 5000 words. Please refer to the separate guideline on a “Portfolio Analysis’ under the website section ‘JOIN US’.

For those who have had articles published, these can augment the materials that you are putting together, or you can add the proceedings of related conferences attended.

Good Luck
