CPD Q and A

I want to register a course for CPD purposes. How do I do that?

Please follow this link to register your company as a CPD Service Provider and register the event: Register an event for CPD

But what if our course will be an on-line course (for CPD purposes)?

In the case of online courses, seminars etc., there is the option to send admin@saimc.co.za a document with questions and multiple-choice answers. These will be uploaded to our website under QUIZZES.

Attendees can then complete the survey and if successful, they will receive an electronic certificate with the CPD number on that they can upload to the ECSA website.
