Is CPD expressed in points or in CPD hours?

As from 1 January 2024, CPD for all CPD domains will be expressed in CPD hours. A distinction is made between 'general' CPD hours and 'sector-specific' CPD hours.

General CPD hours are awarded after attending a general CPD training course. This is training with a broad scope that covers two or more regulated activities and is equally relevant to these activities. General CPD training is eligible for the cumul of CPD.

Sector-specific CPD hours are awarded after attending a sector-specific CPD training course. This is training related to a single regulated activity. Sector-specific CPD training is not eligible for the cumulation of CPD.

In the training overview and on our specification sheets, the number of general and sector-specific CPD hours per CPD domain is explicitly mentioned. 
For example : 'bank: 2h general and 3h sector-specific'. This means that from 1 January 2024, the training in this example entitles you to 2 general and 3 sector-specific CPD hours in the CPD domain 'banking and investment services'

Attention : For the CPD cycle ending 31/12/2023, you can easily deduce the 'CPD points' ( from now on read as 'CPD hours') by summing the general and sector-specific hours per CPD domain.
For example : 'bank: 2h general and 3h sector-specific'. Until 31 December 2023, this training entitles you to 5 points/hours in the CPD domain 'banking and investment services'
