Points Policy

Points are awarded for accredited events. The calendar of events can be found under the “Events”. Upcoming events will be announced via our monthly newsletter, and updated on the SIP website.

The CPD Reporting Year will follow the calendar year

(i.e. 1 January to 31 December).

Members are allowed to earn up to 20% of their required CPD points by volunteering their services in SIP Committees or Special Projects (events).

Excess CPD Points obtained in a year can be carried over to the following year. For example, if the CPD points obtained in 2024 is 28, 20 points can be used for fulfilling the 2024 CPD Requirement and 8 points can be carried forward for fulfilling the 2025 requirement.

Members are able to log into their personal CPD account in the SIP portal, to check their cumulative CPD points.

“Affiliate candidates applying for conversion to Full Member status” will have to achieve 30 SIP CPD Points within 2 years. Candidates are allowed to choose their start date of the two-year period to earn the 30 CPD points required. Candidates can choose their two-year period to start from:

• The date the UPFC was conducted (typically held in November), or
• From 1 January of the same year the UPFC was conducted.
