How many CPD units are required and over how many years?

• A. 60 units, 4 years
• B. 30 units, 2 years
• C. 45 units, 3 years
• D. 50 units, 5 years

Answer: (C)

The main idea is meeting the CPD requirement within a fixed cycle. You need a total of 45 CPD units completed over a 3-year period, which works out to about 15 units per year. This cycle size and total ensure ongoing professional development while keeping the workload manageable over time.

Other options would change either the total workload per year or the length of the cycle, so they don’t align with the standard schedule. For example, 60 units over 4 years would still be 15 per year but in a longer cycle; 30 units over 2 years is a smaller total in a shorter window; 50 units over 5 years spreads to only 10 units per year. The specified combination in the question is 45 units in 3 years.
