How CPD works

Earn accredited CPD points, the simple way.

Learn with Senoga — live or on-demand — earn a verifiable certificate, and, for HPCSA-registered practitioners, we submit your CPD points to the HPCSA for you.

Three ways to earn your CPD

However you learn with us, it ends the same way: a verifiable certificate, with the admin handled for you.

LIVE

Attend a live CPD webinar

Join the live session, online or in the room. Your CPD is earned simply by attending — no test to take.

→ Certificate issued

ON-DEMAND

Watch an on-demand webinar

Watch the recorded webinar free, then take a short assessment and score 70% to confirm your learning.

→ Certificate issued

SELF-PACED

Do an accredited online course

Work through a full, self-paced course at your own pace and pass the assessments (70% across all).

→ Certificate issued

Your points, handled for you

Your certificate is your proof of the activity — yours to download any time. On the admin side, Senoga is an accredited CPD provider, so we submit your CPD points to the HPCSA on your behalf, using the practice number you give us (for example, MP 0123456).

Prefer to submit yourself, or registered with another body? Your certificate carries your accreditation number and CPD points — everything you need to do it.

What is CPD?

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is how registered health professionals keep their knowledge and skills current. In South Africa, the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) requires practitioners to earn a set number of Continuing Education Units (CEUs), or CPD points, each year across accredited activities.

How Senoga Academy’s CPD is accredited

Our clinical activities are accredited by the South African Medical Association (SAMA) on behalf of the HPCSA, under accreditation number MDB015/MPDP/144. Each activity is allocated a defined number of Clinical CPD points — shown on the course page and printed on your certificate.

Why free to watch, then pay to certify?

We believe the learning should never be behind a paywall. So the full webinar is free to watch. You only pay when you choose to take the assessment and claim the accredited certificate and CPD points — so you decide whether and when the CPD is worth it to you.

Submitting your points

Your certificate records your name, the activity, the accreditation number, the CPD points and the date — everything the HPCSA needs. For HPCSA-registered practitioners, Senoga submits your points for you using the practice number you provide. If you prefer, or if you are registered with another body, you can keep the certificate on file and submit it yourself. Certificates are verifiable, so their authenticity can be confirmed.

Common questions

Do I have to pay to watch the webinar?

No. The full webinar is free to watch. You only pay if you want to take the assessment and earn the accredited certificate and CPD points.

What score do I need to pass?

70%. You get multiple attempts, so there’s no pressure — the goal is to confirm the learning, not to catch you out.

Is the certificate accepted by the HPCSA?

Our clinical activities are accredited via SAMA on behalf of the HPCSA (MDB015/MPDP/144). Your certificate carries the accreditation number and points, ready to submit as part of your CPD record.

Do I need to be a registered professional to sign up?

No. Anyone can register and learn. When you sign up we ask for your professional council and registration number — the registration number is optional, so corporate and non-professional learners are welcome too.
