Duration
1st April 2020 – 31st December 2022
To align with the ending date of both HKSA membership and HKIA registration, CPD Cycle 5 will end on 31 December 2022 and will only last for two years and nine months.
Eligibility
All HKSA Full and Life Members
Requirement
Gain 45 CPD Points within the cycle
There are two changes in the scoring system in this cycle:
- In light of the pandemic in 2020, which caused cancellation of numerous events worldwide, and a slightly shortened cycle, the maximum number of points allowed for Category 3 (Peer-directed Activities) and Category 4 (Self-study) activities combined is increased from 15 points per cycle to 30 points per cycle.
- Category 9 (Humanitarian Audiological Services) and 10 (Assistance in HKSA) are now combined into one category “Category 9 – Promotion of Professional Status of Audiologists”. The maximum number of points allowed for the new category is 10 points per cycle.
Fee
HK$2000.00 (one-off payment for the whole cycle)
CPD Point Restrictions
- Members who successfully enrol into CPD Cycle 5 ON or BEFORE 30 September 2020 may record CPD points earned from events held between 1 April 2020 and 31 December 2022.
- Members who successfully enrol into CPD Cycle 5 AFTER 30 September 2020 may only record CPD points earned from events held from the date of successful enrolment to 31 December 2022.
