CPD ACT OF 2015

Continuing Professional Development Act approved.  The Senate in the Philippines has approved the Continuing Professional Development Act of 2015, making formal and informal learning programs a requirement for professionals to renew their licenses. Government agencies and private firms will also have to include formal and informal learning requirements in the human resource development plans. The CPD councils that will monitor the post-licensure learning program will be supervised by the professional regulatory boards. Also, the Senate Committee on Civil Service and Government Reorganization has been expanded to the Senate Committee on Civil Service, Government Reorganization and Professional Regulation, allowing it jurisdiction over matters related to the role of professionals.
