Continuing Professional
Development (CPD)
All AMTRA SQPs are required to
undertake Continuing Professional Development. The amount of CPD required
depends on the type of SQP and on when the SQP qualified. With the exception of
small amounts of personal study, all CPD must be accredited by AMTRA in advance.
AMTRA will keep a record of CPD points accumulated by SQPs, and those not
achieving the required minimum will not be able to renew their SQP registration
unless they pass a fresh exam.
CPD seminars open to SQPs
Where invited to do so by the CPD organiser,
AMTRA may publish on its website information on accredited CPD seminars
available to SQPs. Most seminars are publicised by other means.
