Regulation 16: CPD questions on the practising certificate application form

16.1

You will be required to confirm whether or not you have complied with the CPD requirements during the past full CPD year when applying for your practising certificate.

Guidance note:

(i)

When applying for a practising certificate in 2011 for example, the question relates to your CPD position as at 31 October 2010. If you are making an application for the first time and have not completed a full CPD year, the 'not applicable' box on the form should be ticked. Likewise, if you are subject to the requirement but were out of practice during the year, and have suspended the requirements, you should tick the 'not applicable' box on the form.
