CPD Hours
Sumday Academy can count towards your CPD hours
Does Sumday’s educational materials count towards CPD hours?
The courses, resources, and webinars offered by Sumday Academy can contribute to your CPD hours in most jurisdictions (Continuing Professional Development) for professional qualifications.
Generally, guidelines from accounting professional bodies for CPD hours state:
“If members believe that an activity is relevant to developing and maintaining their professional competence, and if it enables them to continue performing their role competently, they may claim CPD hours accordingly.”
Verifiable CPD hours vs Non-Verifiable CPD hours
Verifiable CPD hours require evidence of completion.
- Sumday’s courses come with completion certificates, these are provided shortly after you complete each course.
- Webinars can be verified with registration confirmations or calendar records.
Non-verifiable CPD hours do not require evidence of completion. Activities such as reading technical or professional articles, participating in discussion where learning is fostered, can be considered CPD as long as it is beneficial for your professional development.
Here’s some resources that can contribute as non-verifiable CPD hours.
- Sumday’s Newsletters provide brief updates on the latest news impacting the non-financial reporting space. Here’s an example.
- Resources on our Blog
How many hours can I log?
Sumday's online courses are self-paced, allowing you to progress at your own discretion. We provide estimated timeframes for each course, which can be found in the respective course articles in the Sumday Academy article.
The same rule applies to Non-Verifiable CPD hours. The time you spend reading through these resources is entirely up to you.
We recommend checking your professional body’s guidelines for guidance on CPD hours and what you can log towards the requirement. We have linked some common ones below:
