Registered persons are required by their Code of Conduct to practice strictly within their area of competence and to maintain and enhance this competence. They therefore have the responsibility to keep abreast of developments and knowledge in their areas of expertise in order to maintain their competence. The aim of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) point system, used by the SACNAPS, is to award registered professional for their active involvement in the advancement of the body of knowledge. CPD can be defined as the systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skills, and the development of personal qualities necessary for the execution of professional and technical duties throughout a registered person’s professional natural scientific career.
