CPD activities must be directly relevant to clinical practice in counselling and psychotherapy.
Annual CPD requirement
There are 2 categories from which the 20 hours may be accrued:
Category A (mandatory): Minimum annual requirement – 10 hours
Category B (optional): Maximum annual allowance - 10 hours
The annual requirement of 20 CPD hours may all be accrued from Category A, as Categories B is optional.
CATEGORY A: minimum requirement of 10 hours per year.
Category A CPD requires you to be an active participant, in things such as:
- Attendance at in-person courses, workshops, seminars and conferences;
- Participation in online facilitated learning.
For online facilitated learning, the presence and contribution of an online facilitator is required, providing interaction between the facilitator and the participants, either during the event, or after via forums or email. This involves interactive learning where participants carry out a number of learning activities, rather than passively listening to a lecture or presentation. Examples of online facilitated learning can be Zoom webinars, conferences, workshops, or Q&A sessions, that include facilitated discussions or forums, and may also include assessment components.
CATEGORY B: maximum allowance of 10 hours per year.
Category B CPD is classed more as 'passive learning', examples including watching a recorded webinar, and reading journal articles or books related to your practice. It can also include any supervision hours done in excess of the annual requirements, any teaching or formal presentations, and peer learning groups, who meet to discuss and explore counselling and psychotherapy topics or resources, without a formal facilitator.
A reflective journal should be used to record any notes on journal articles, books, or recorded webinars, to reflect on the learning activity undertaken and how it relates to and enhances professional practice.
