    CPD
    Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is of key importance to all practitioners in the financial services sector. As from 1 January 2018 all individual members of SAIS are expected to complete and record CPD.

    In order to provide all our members with the tools needed to comply with our CPD rules, SAIS has joined forces with the Chartered Institute of Securities & Investment (CISI), an international professional body, to develop a joint CPD portal. This joint portal provides access to international CPD materials and over time we will adjust some of the material to become South Africa specific and add additional local material. The portal allows for the recording of CPD activities and the uploading and storing of evidence.

    Please note: This co-operative project between SAIS and the CISI does not provide you with membership of the CISI or any other CISI benefits.

    Why CPD?
    CPD is the process of learning and developing your knowledge and skills whilst you work. This shows colleagues, clients and regulators that you are committed to upholding your competence. On completion of your CPD obligations and at the end of each CPD year you will be awarded a certificate which is tangible evidence of your dedication to ongoing professionalism.

    Through this joint CISI-SAIS portal we offer you a wealth of opportunities to develop your expertise through online resources and publications, and document your progress.

    CPD of other professional bodies
    Activities of other professional bodies or training providers are admissible, but all CPD logged must be professionally relevant to the member. Members may need to demonstrate the professional relevance of an entry on their CPD log should this be requested by SAIS.

    SAIS reserves the right to decline CPD an activity that does not meet its requirements. Please email cpd@sais.co.za with any questions regarding the relevance of certain activities.
    Gaining and Logging CPD
    The SAIS/CISI’s CPD scheme is designed to reflect professional requirements. All activities are categorised into two types of learning, referred to as structured and unstructured. The SAIS require members complete 30 hours of CPD per year, of which can be either structured or unstructured.
