With a view to gradually start conforming to International Education Standard on Continuing Professional Development (CPD) IES 7, the Council of ICAP at its meeting on 31 July 2004 has approved the following changes in Directive 8.01 with immediate effect:
-
Whenever the term ‘Continuing Professional Education’ or its acronym ‘CPE’ occurs, it would be substituted by the words ‘Continuing Professional Development’ or its acronym ‘CPD’.
