Professional Development

Many of us need professional development points we have applied for CERPS approval and the application is pending so this is not certain until the approval is granted. 
  ​ For most disciplines, to apply for indvidual continuing professional development points (CPD), you will need a copy of the programme with some notes on personal reflection and learning as well as a Certificate of Attendance. We will not  apply to all the different professional organisations for CPD approval as the cost is prohibitive. However we are happy to work with you to ensure you have ample evidence to meet your CPD requirements.
