Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
If you are an ACCA member, studying for another qualification can count towards your continuing professional development (CPD). ACCA’s CPD policy states that one hour of learning is equivalent to one unit. Learning is verifiable if it is relevant to your career, you can demonstrate how you have applied the learning and you can prove that the learning took place (copies of course materials, notes from learning, contact details of a third party who can substantiate completion of the activity, certificate showing the course/assessment was completed etc).
In addition, if you are achieving your CPD via the unit route, studying this diploma may fully meet your 40 unit CPD requirement for one year; in this case you can also carry forward up to 21 verifiable units to the following CPD year.
