 What is CPD?
The Continuing Professional Development program recognizes CPCUs who keep their knowledge current and their skills sharp through professional development activities.
Qualification for recognition
To qualify for CPD status, you must earn 60 points every two years. Points are awarded for a variety of activities—passing exams or courses, teaching, writing, conducting research, serving in industry organizations, serving as graders or on IIA/AICPCU Exam Review Committees, attending chapter meetings, CPCU Society Center for Leadership courses, workshops, and more. The CPD application lists a wide variety of activities with corresponding point values.
Applying for the CPD
Now, it is easier and more convenient than ever to track the extra activities and educational events in which you participate to maintain your CPD status. Simply log into your record, and bring up the CPD application. You can scroll down and see the various categories and points awarded for each activity. Follow the prompts and fill in your activity information. When your application is approved, you're qualified for a two-year period
