These objectives are determined by accumulating CPD activities, which include participating in training courses, eLearning programs, events, and other structured learning experiences.
Most professional bodies employ CPD hours as their primary metric, and when CPD points or credits are utilised, they are typically in a direct 1:1 correlation with CPD hours. In simpler terms, one CPD point equates to one CPD hour.
