CPD - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

 

In order to determine the conditions for renewal of registration, SACAP made the decision to introduce CPD. CPD became effective from 1 January 2007 and is compulsory for all architectural professionals as continuous development of skills is in the best interest of Council, registered persons and the general public.

 

After the initial phasing-in period, the CPD system will function in five year cycles, during which registered persons must obtain 25 CPD credits in order to qualify for renewal of registration.

 

A registered person must obtain at least 3 credits per annum out of the three categories, subject to at least one credit being from Category 1. Additional credits may be accumulated up to the maximum number of credits prescribed for each activity.

 

Credits accumulated in excess of 5 during any particular year may be carried over to subsequent years of the five year cycle - provided that no more than the maximum permissible credits for the particular activity  may be carried over .
