Key points

  1. CPD courses on official time. Attendance of government professionals in CPD courses counts as official time for the CPD units their Professional Regulatory Board requires. Anything beyond what is required is at the discretion of agency heads.
  2. PIC renewal. All government professionals get one (1) day on official time for every three (3) years for renewing their PICs.
  3. Scheduling. Agency heads ensure professionals are scheduled in CPD courses so agency operations are not hampered.
  4. Training hours. A CPD program or course may count toward technical or managerial training hours for appointment, depending on its description, objectives and target participants stated by the CPD Provider.

Who is affected

  • Government professionals
  • Agency heads

Deadlines and effectivity

  • One day on official time for every three (3) years for PIC renewal
