One of the most common compliance issues isn’t a lack of learning — it’s poor record keeping.

Professionals often run into trouble when certificates are misplaced, activities are miscategorised, or points aren’t captured correctly across the year.

Here’s what effective CPD tracking actually involves:

• Recording points as activities are completed, not months later
• Ensuring activities are logged under the correct CPD category
• Keeping verified documentation linked to each activity
• Maintaining a clear audit trail in case of HPCSA review

For providers and events managed by 360 CPD, this tracking is handled centrally and accurately — removing the burden from both organisers and attendees and reducing the risk of errors or missing records.

Professional CPD management isn’t about scrambling before an audit.
It’s about consistent, accurate tracking throughout the year.

Accreditation doesn’t happen once a year — and it doesn’t pause between intakes, semesters, or training cycles.

For institutions running ongoing medical education, compliance needs to be built into the system, not chased at the last minute.

360 CPD works alongside hospitals, universities, and training academies to manage CPD accreditation on an ongoing basis — ensuring requirements are met, documentation stays up to date, and standards are maintained throughout the year.

Less admin pressure.
More consistency.
Stronger learning outcomes.

CPD activities are grouped into categories to reflect how learning happens and how actively you participate. Understanding the difference makes it much easier to track points correctly and stay compliant.

Category 1: Structured learning
These are formal activities with clear learning objectives and outcomes.
Think:
- Conferences and congresses
- Workshops and seminars
- Accredited online modules or webinars

These usually involve registration, attendance tracking, and a certificate of completion.

Category 2: Self-directed learning
This category focuses on learning you initiate yourself.
Examples include:
- Peer review sessions
- Journal clubs
- Case discussions with colleagues

While less formal, these activities still require reflection and evidence of participation.

Category 3: Knowledge contribution
This is where you contribute to the profession rather than only consuming information.
For example:
- Research and publications
- Presenting at conferences
- Developing training or educational material

These activities recognise your role in advancing medical knowledge.

Each category plays a different role — and all are valuable when recorded correctly.

Losing CPD certificates happens more often than you might think.

Files get deleted, email inboxes change, laptops crash, or documents are saved “somewhere” and never found again. It’s stressful — especially if you’re preparing for an audit.

The good news is that there are usually steps you can take.

If the provider is still active, you can often request a duplicate certificate directly from them. Most accredited providers keep records of attendance and issued certificates.

If a provider has shut down or is no longer operating, it becomes more important to gather any supporting evidence you still have — such as confirmation emails, invoices, or attendance records — and understand what options are available to you.

The key is not to ignore the problem. Sorting it out sooner rather than later can save a lot of pressure down the line.

CPD cycles have changed — and this has caused a lot of understandable confusion.

Previously, CPD ran on a 24-month rolling cycle. However, this has now been updated to a 12-month CPD cycle, meaning professionals must meet their CPD requirements within each annual period.

What hasn’t changed is that your CPD responsibility remains individual. Your cycle is linked to your registration and compliance requirements, not to your employer or a general calendar assumption.

This is why it’s so important to know:
- When your current CPD cycle starts and ends
- How many points you need within that 12-month period
- Whether the activities you’ve completed actually count

Understanding your CPD cycle helps you plan ahead, avoid last-minute pressure, and stay compliant with confidence.

Medical education doesn’t look the same as it did a few years ago — and CPD accreditation has had to evolve with it.

Whether your course is fully in-person, completely virtual, or delivered through a blended hybrid format, 360 CPD adapts the accreditation process to suit your delivery method while ensuring all HPCSA standards are met.

That means your format doesn’t limit your accreditation. With the right structure, documentation, and compliance in place, your educational content can still earn recognised CPD points.

However you deliver your learning, we help you accredit it with confidence.

14/01/2026

There’s a lot of educational content available to healthcare professionals — courses, webinars, workshops, online learning and more.

But not all of it counts towards CPD.

When a course is described as accredited, it means the content has been reviewed and approved by a recognised professional body, and that it meets specific standards for learning outcomes, relevance, and assessment.

Non-accredited courses can still be valuable for personal growth or skill development, but they don’t automatically meet the requirements for CPD compliance.

This is where confusion often happens — especially when courses use phrases like “CPD-accredited” without clearly stating who the accreditation is through, or what points are awarded.

Understanding the difference helps you make informed choices, avoid disappointment, and ensure the time you invest in learning actually supports your professional obligations.

12/01/2026

Not all medical education automatically qualifies for CPD accreditation.

For content to earn recognised CPD points, it needs to meet specific criteria around learning outcomes, relevance, structure, and assessment. This is often where uncertainty creeps in — especially when planning new training, workshops, or events.

At 360 CPD, we work with you from the start to help shape and review your content so it aligns with accreditation requirements and delivers real value to your attendees.

The result? Educational content that’s compliant, credible, and recognised — without the guesswork.

Unfortunately, CPD scams are becoming more common — and they’re not always obvious at first glance.

Fake or unaccredited providers often look professional, have polished branding, and promise quick or guaranteed points. But there are usually a few warning signs if you know what to look for.

Some common red flags include:
- No clear CPD or accreditation number listed
- Certificates that are vague, generic, or missing key details
- Payment links that feel rushed, informal, or unfamiliar
- Little to no information about the organisation behind the offering

Before registering for any CPD activity, it’s worth taking a few minutes to verify that the provider is properly accredited and that the points will actually count.

Doing this upfront can save you time, money, and the frustration of discovering later that your CPD doesn’t meet compliance requirements.

Not sure if a provider is legitimate? Send us their details — we’ll verify for you.

CPD certificates shouldn’t be complicated — or delayed.

From creation to distribution, 360 CPD manages the full certificate process to ensure attendees receive accurate, verified CPD certificates that meet accreditation requirements and are delivered on time, every time.

That means no chasing, no uncertainty, and no last-minute corrections — just a smooth, reliable process that supports both organisers and attendees.

While you focus on delivering quality medical education, we take care of the details behind the scenes.

If you’re registered under more than one professional category, CPD can feel a little more complicated — and you’re not alone in that.

Each registration has its own scope of practice, and your CPD needs to align with the requirements of each board you’re registered under. This means that while some activities may overlap, not all CPD automatically counts across the board.

In many cases, CPD must be relevant to the specific role and scope attached to that registration. Simply attending one activity doesn’t always mean it covers everything.

That’s why it’s important to be clear on:
- Which activities apply to which registration
- Whether an activity can be counted more than once
- How to correctly record and submit your CPD

Taking the time to understand this upfront can help prevent gaps in compliance and avoid last-minute stress if you’re audited.

Are you registered under more than one board? We’d love to hear how you manage it.
