Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points are units that measure the time and effort invested in learning activities that maintain and enhance your professional competence. Most professional bodies require members to earn a certain number of CPD points annually.
Different learning activities have varying levels of structure, rigor, and learning outcomes. Structured learning activities typically have clear objectives and assessment, earning full CPD points, while informal activities may earn fewer points due to their less structured nature.
The required number of CPD points varies by profession and regulatory body. Common requirements range from 20 to 50 CPD points per year. Check with your professional association or licensing body for specific requirements.
