NHPC Act Lr.31 · Articles 34(5)(b)(i), 44(2)(c)
Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Continuing education is a requirement every time you renew your licence or apply for re-registration. The Act establishes that CPD is required — it does not set a number of points, and the Council has not yet published one.
Where CPD is required
- 1
Every licence renewal
Continuing professional development is one of the standing requirements the Secretary General verifies before your licence is renewed (Art. 44(2)(c), 44(3)).
- 2
Re-registration
An applicant for re-registration must show evidence of continuing professional development (Art. 34(5)(b)(i)).
- 3
As a duty of professional conduct
The Code of Conduct requires every registered professional to keep their knowledge and skills current, independently of any renewal deadline.
Points requirement and cycle
The Council has not published a points requirement.
The number of CPD points required, the length of the cycle, and how points are counted will be published here and announced in News & Notices. Until then, keep your own records of the training you complete — renewal asks for evidence of CPD (Art. 44(2)(c)).
What counts as CPD
The categories of activity that count have not been published.
The Council has not yet set out which activities count towards CPD or how each is weighted. This page will list them once it does.
Accredited CPD providers
No CPD providers have been accredited yet.
When the Council accredits a provider, it will be listed here. Treat any claim of NHPC accreditation that does not appear on this page as unverified.
Warning: NHPC never requests payment via personal accounts. Anyone offering to sell you CPD points, or to issue a certificate for a fee, is defrauding you.
CPD and licence renewal
CPD is not a separate application — it is a condition attached to renewing your licence. A licence that has not been renewed is not valid, and practising on one is an offence (Art. 44(7), 44(8)).
