Continual Professional Development

Continual Professional Development (CPD) has been 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 the member’s working life.”

Depending on which Professional Organisation you chose to register with when you became Certified in Equine Bodywork, you will have to note how may CPD hours each organisation require to renew your membership each year.
 
The International Association of Animal Massage & Bodywork (IAAMB) do not stipulate a set amount of CPD hours per year to remain on the Professional Register, however, we recommend up to 20 hours per year to maintain excellent standards within our Profession. At the International Association of Animal Therapists (IAAT) the required minimum CPD is 75 hours over a rolling three year period with an average of 25 hours per year.
