Continuous Professional Development – Progress check

With less than 80 days before the end of the current CPD cycle, now is an opportune time to take stock, and action, if required.

As you are no doubt aware, certain categories of advisors are obliged to perform CPD activities during a CPD cycle, which is a period of 12 months commencing on 1 June of every year and ending 31 May of the following year.

Let’s recap:

If you render financial services for… Then you must complete a minimum of…
a single subclass of business within a single class of business six hours of CPD activities per CPD cycle
more than one subclass of business within a single class of business 12 hours of CPD activities per CPD cycle
more than one class of business 18 hours of CPD activities per CPD cycle

Moonstone offers various courses and events that are CPD accredited. Visit the Moonstone Event page for more information.

If you have any questions about CPD hours, we suggest that you download and study our informative – FAQ Guide. Who knows, maybe you only require 12 hours and not 18?

Whatever you do, make sure you are not short of the required number of hours by the end of May. Unlike some of the other requirements, there is no provision for an extension of the deadline.
