Continuous Professional Development Programme (CPD)
持續專業發展計劃
IT technical skills
This is an ever-evolving category and should be reviewed
from time to time. For examples, training in system
analysis and design, databases, programming languages,
testing, network administration, security, etc.
Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is a systematic
means to maintain, improve and broaden one’s skills and
knowledge that are essential to carry out one’s duties
professionally. The HKCS believes that ICT is an ever-evolving
field and CPD is essential to the development of one’s
profession.
Programme Objectives
The CPD Programme enables HKCS Members to:
• Keep up one’s professional knowledge and competence
• Be aware of the latest development in the profession and
be able to apply the latest technology and applications
for the benefits of his/her employer
• Meet the increasing job responsibilities and expectation
of his/ her employer
• Be aware of the society’s expectation and demand
• Provide reasonable assurance to the society that his/her
service has been carried out professionally
Programme Requirements
Under the new programme, Members are required to fulfill a
minimum of thirty (30) CPD hours within a period of twelve
(12) calendar months (from 1 January to 31 December) in
order to qualify for a “CPD active” status in the membership
record and/ or a “CPD Certificate” issued by the Society. It is
very simple of calculating the CPD hours that it counts the
number of hours of the recognised CPD activities and areas the
Members participated/ attended.
