+Do providers or courses need to be pre-approved to qualify for HPRA CPD points?

No! An activity does not need to be preapproved for you to include it in your log. For an activity to be appropriate for your CPD there must be a direct and describable link between the content of the activity and how it furthers your ability as an HR practitioner. If you can articulate this link, then consider including the activity in your log. Be sure to include the linkage in your log when you are documenting the activity. Seminars, workshops and conferences accrue hours under A3 of the log.

For more information you can review the CPD guidebook and CPD log.
