What happens after you submit your CPD profile?

We estimate that the average processing time for profiles will be eight to twelve weeks

We will process CPD profiles in the order that we receive them. This means that the sooner you submit your completed profile, the sooner it will be processed.

During the assessment of the profile your HCPC registration will be unaffected if we have received your signed renewal form and payment.

If your profile meets the standards we will contact you and let you know.

What happens if...

  • If you submit an incomplete profile, we will contact you telling you that it is not complete, and what information you need to include when you submit it back to us.

    We will ask you to submit this to us by the CPD deadline.

  • The Registration Department may contact you with a request for ‘further information’ from the CPD assessors. We will include a detailed record of assessment and indicate what you need to send us to allow a complete assessment to take place.

    We will ask you to return this to us within 21 days.

  • The Registration Department may contact you with a decision allowing ‘further time’ from the CPD assessors.

    We will provide a detailed record of assessment and indicate what you need to do to meet the standards. This will be a three month period in which you can undertake further CPD activities.

  • The Registration Department may contact you with an assessment indicating that your CPD profile does not currently meet the standards. 

    At this stage you are entitled to send in any observations for the CPD assessors to consider. Please do this within 14 days. A final decision will be made at that stage. 

    Alternatively, you might prefer to request that a moderator reassess your CPD profile. You must do this within 28 days of receipt of your assessment decision.

    If the final decision which we make is that your CPD profile does not meet the standards you have a statutory right of appeal
