Category 2 A – Work-based Activities
Work-based activities, this basically means you earn credits for going to work.
Requirements – There is no minimum requirement in this category, however there is a maximum.
Credits – For every 400 hours spent at work you receive 1 credit. The maximum credits is 2. So, for 800hours you receive 2 credits, max. This includes all forms of employment, from contract to part time, full time, consulting or contracting and self employed.
Evidence – A letter from the HR department confirming your employment will be accepted. A letter form you employer or client will be accepted. If you are self employed then an official letter will be accepted, certified.
Note. The system is designed in such a way that you would be able to take a year off, for medical or whatever reason, without being penalised. You must however, capture credits in at least 2 of the 3 categories.
Category 2 B – Mentoring
All types of mentoring will be accepted for now.
Requirements – This category is voluntary and has a maximum limit of 1 CPD credit.
Credits – You will receive 1 CPD credit for 50 hours of mentoring.
Evidence – There must a record, of some sorts, tracking your mentoring programme. The names of the mentees must be captured and any other supporting documents.
Note – If you need help with the mentor programme, work place training plans and or documents please contact Mr. Johan van Schalkwyk, johan@6cds.co.za.
