So, what is CPD exactly?
CPD can be best described as the ongoing process of learning and developing within a profession. The role of CPD should not be underestimated, as it is essential for the professional development of an individual within their profession. In a previously authored blog post, our team at IforPE dives deep into the significance of CPD and how professionals can benefit from it.
Professionals required to complete annual CPD units
Members certified by CySEC, ICPAC, and CBA operating within the financial industry in Cyprus are required to obtain a certain number of CPD units on an annual basis in order to maintain their accreditation statuses.
CySEC, ICPAC and CBA professionals that undertake CPD units on an annual basis ensure their knowledge and skills remain up to par with the latest regulatory developments. This is essential as it ensures such professionals are able to provide the most accurate and best service within their domain and to their clients.
Annual CPD requirements for CySEC Certified Persons
Professionals that hold a CySEC Advanced, Basic or AML certification have a different number of minimum CPD units they must obtain annually to keep the validity of their certification.
We outline these minimum requirements below:
| Certification type | CySEC Advanced | CySEC Basic | CySEC AML |
| Number of annual CPD units required | 15 | 10 | 10 |
- CySEC Advanced and AML certification holders must complete a total of 20 CPD units.
- CySEC Basic and AML certification holders must complete a total of 15 CPD units.
