The element of ongoing training and relevant Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is considered to be fundamental for ensuring that Key Persons are continuously up to date on developments in their respective fields, and thus remain fully equipped to carry out their designated roles. Eventually, when applying for the renewal of their Key Function Certificate, Key Persons shall be required to show that they have attained a minimum number of CPD hours during each calendar year of the previous certification period for each of their authorised Key Functions, in order for such renewal to be approved. The minimum number of CPDs required is outlined in the ‘Key Function Eligibility Criteria Policy’ document.
Key Persons shall be required to fulfil the CPD requirements with respect to each of the Key Roles which they are authorised to fulfil upon their first application for renewal of their Key Function. Hence, no yearly reporting or notifications are required, prior to the renewal.
