CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AFAC EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONALISATION SCHEME

The AFAC Emergency Management Professionalisation Scheme (EMPS) continuing professional development (CPD) year aligns with the financial year (July to June). Practitioners must meet the requirements for CPD each financial year.

Practitioners becoming registered or certified in the last three months of the financial year do not need to record CPD hours for that year, but in all other cases, they should keep a record showing the full CPD requirement for the year of joining.

Practitioners can fulfil the requirements through activities they have undertaken before the date of registration or certification, so long as they completed these activities within the relevant financial year.
