HOW TO GAIN CPD POINTS

Numbers 1 to 3 – CAN be advertised stating the number of CPD points
4. Directed Private Study – Which must be for a minimum of 7.5 hours Home Study to accrue a Maximum of 5 CPD points in any one year.
5. Other Yoga Events or Relevant Training Events
Seminars or Workshops similar to class practice do not count.

They have the potential to count as 1 point per hour.
The Attendee needs to decide how many points an event can accrue, it is NOT up to the Organiser.
Number 5 CANNOT be advertised as CPD or state the number of CPD points.
