Continuing Professional Development and Renewal of Registration
In order to stay abreast of developments in the field of Geo-information Science registered candidates are required to follow a programme of continuing professional development (CPD).
In terms of the Geomatics Profession Act 19 of 2013 the SA Geomatics Council is required to
make rules which determine
- the conditions relating to continuing professional development;
- the nature and extent of continuing professional development to be undertaken by persons registered in terms of the Act;
- the criteria for the recognition of continuing professional development and of service providers offering such activities;
- the recognition of professionals who offer opportunities for practical training towards the development of graduates and potential graduates;
In this regard it is important to take note of the policies and rules regarding continuing professional development prescribed by the SAGC which can be obtained at the link below.
