The Psychology CPD WELL programme at the Stellenbosch University (SU) Centre for Student Counselling and Development is a comprehensive, one-year continuing professional development (CPD) programme for psychologists, psychometrists and counsellors. 

An accredited service provider, Psychology CPD WELL, is designed to help you as a health care practitioner maintain and develop your academic and professional credentials. Our programme offers you a convenient and affordable platform with various options to acquire all the CEUs you need. This will help you comply with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) regulations, as earning CEUs is mandatory to retain your professional registration.

All healthcare practitioners are required to earn 30 CEUs per year and a total of at least 60 CEUs over every two-year period. The Professional Board for Psychology has specified that the required 30 CEUs per year should include six Ethics units. (For the revised guidelines for psychology on the HPCSA website, click here.) We have therefore included the required six Ethics units in our comprehensive programme for 2021.

Psychology CPD WELL is approved as an official service provider for a maximum of 42 CEUs per practitioner for 2020 and has applied for accreditation for 2021.​​

PSYCHOLOGY CPD WELL IS A REGISTERED SHORT COURSE AT SU​
