INCOMPLETE CPD UNITS? Still Allowed to Renew PRC ID Card

Manila Philippines  – The Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), in its official Continuing Professional Education (CPD) Notice announced that professionals with incomplete CPD Units can still renew their Professional Identification Card (PIC) provided that they will execute an undertaking to complete their CPD unit requirements until the next compliance period.

CPD Compliance is mandatory for all PRC-regulated professionals starting July 2017.

This is a good news for all professionals since the undertaking can be availed until December 31, 2020.


“CPD Act of 2016” or the Republic Act No. 10912 is an act that requires CPD as mandatory requirement for Professional ID Card renewal for all professionals regulated by PRC.

ON ABOLISHING CPD LAW

False reports has been circulated recently claiming that the CPD Law abolition has been formally approved in the Senate.

PRC likewise clarified that the Senate Bill No. 2073 initiated by Senator Ralph Recto or an act to Repeal the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) law is a newly filed Senate Bill and still has to undergo process before it could amend the law. Full details of the report here…

    I signed undertaking last Dec. 2018, sabi doon I need to comply 75units (30 units for 2018 + 45 units for 2019 onwards).. 2021 pa po next renewal ko, so pano na po yun? Kelangan po bang 75 units ang buoin ko or 45 units na lang as per existing law na nilower from 45 units down to 15 units nalang? Sana po may makasagot.
