Two CPD credits are awarded for every hour of formal training. Formal training requires successful and verifiable completion of a graded exam or assignment. If the participant does not pass the exam, they are still eligible to earn one CPD credit for every hour of learning under the informal category. The education provider must ensure that they issue the appropriate training certificate that specifies informal CPD. Quizzes can be used throughout a course to engage students and help them prepare for the final exam, however, completing a quiz at the end of each chapter does not qualify for formal training credits. To qualify for formal training credits, the education provider must administer their own courses and examinations. In some cases, the education provider may wish to use a third party to administer the training and examinations. In this scenario, the education provider is essentially acting as a vendor of the training for their members. This arrangement is permitted, but the training provided is only eligible for informal training credits. It is not considered formal training because the third party providers are private companies and are not regulated under any legislation, or noted in the Regulation as able to provide formal training. However, education providers can use professional exam platform providers (such as Meazure Learning/ProctorU) to administer their online examinations.
