Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

SABPP aims to sustain the HR profession through the creation of a culture of continuous professional development (CPD) and ensuring that all registered professionals maintain their competence and professionalism.

 
CPD is based on the following principles

  • An understanding among practitioners of the importance of continued professional development in the promotion of HR professionalism in South Africa.
  • There is an ethical obligation on HR practitioners to regularly enhance their professional competence through CPD, as stated in the SABPP Code of Ethics.
  • CPD should complement and update, but not replace, knowledge and skills gained through initial education in HR practices.
  • CPD is based on the SABPP HR Competency Model.
  • CPD is based on various forms of learning, including formal and non-formal activities, covering theory, practical, workplace or actual demonstrated abilities.
