How CPD Works

Employees and members of professional bodies, institutes or regulators are often required to complete a set number of CPD points or hours each year.

• Each professional body, institute, regulator or employer sets its own CPD policy.
• The number of points or hours required can vary by profession and sector.
• OpenLearn CPDSO-accredited courses provide verified points that can contribute toward these professional requirements.
