FAQs
HOW MANY CPD POINTS DO I NEED TO RENEW MY PIN?
The Council is required by law to determine and facilitate the organization of CPD programmes to enable Allied Health Professionals attend and update their skills.
All professionals must show evidence of a minimum of 20 CPD points before they are allowed to renew their PINs for the year depending on the following levels
• Degree and Above – a minimum of 20 points
• Diploma – a minimum 15 points
• Certificates- a minimum of 10 points
The Council does not organise CPD programmes. However, it reviews, accredits CPD programmes and awards the respective points for the accredited organization. This is done to ensure quality control. Training/organization can partner the Council in the organization of a CPD programme on an acceptable term.
HOW DO I GET CPD ACCREDITATION?
Institutions or organizations seeking to organize Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programmes must officially notify Council for authorization. The following document must accompany the request:
- Business Registration Certificates
- Company Profile
- CVs of Proposed CPD facilitators
- Source of Funding
Accredited institutions after securing authorization will be required to submit the programme they intend to organize to the Council for CPD programme accreditation. The Programme should be structured according to the CPD programme guideline.
Accredited Institution/organization that intend to organize online CPD programmes must also satisfy the CPD online programme guideline.
Accredited Institutions/Organizations will be notified of the approval of their programmes and the number of points awarded. Kindly check the fee schedule for the CPD accreditation.
HOW CAN I APPLY FOR A CPD WAIVER?
The CPD requirement for renewal of PIN may be waived on the following grounds:
- On medical grounds
