Continuous Professional Development (CPD)

"CPD allows Craniosacral Therapists to maintain, develop and enhance their professional competency. CPD is essential for the profession to maintain and preserve the integrity of the practitioner, as well as safeguard the client. CPD demonstrates commitment to the importance of the profession as a whole and fosters high standards of protection for clients. IACST requires Members to undertake regular CPD, maintain a CPD record and comply with the IACST CPD requirements to maintain Membership."

"CPD should be more than just passive learning activities or attendance at events - just to full fill the membership requirement. It should occur in various contexts and through a wide-range of activities; it can be achieved through creating knowledge and disseminating it as well as receiving it and does not have to be done solely through structured or formal training."
