25 Oct 5 INNOTECH online courses accredited for CPD units

Five (5) of SEAMEO INNOTECH’s online courses have recently been accredited by the country’s Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units. Participants of Teach On, GURO 21 Course 1, Guro21 Course 2, TEACHeXCELS, and SUPEReXCELS will now get 15 CPD credits upon their completion. 

In accordance with R.A. 10912, known as the Continuing Professional Development Act of 2016, Teachers and other professionals in the country are required to earn a certain number of CPD units before they can renew their PRC licenses. This is to ensure that professionals continuously develop their capacities, upgrade their skills, and stay updated on the latest trends in their respective fields. The required number of CPD units varies from profession to profession; for Teachers, they need to earn 45 CPD units in the span of 3 years. 

SEAMEO INNOTECH has been an accredited CPD provider since 2017. This means that completers of any INNOTECH programs may earn CPD units when they apply it as their self-directed learning; its equivalent CPD units depends on PRC’s evaluation of the course. With these 5 online courses being accredited by PRC, the number of CPD units granted for the completers are definite.
