FAQ Continuing Professional Education

There is not Continuing Professional Education program for the Integrity register at this moment, so the requirement does not apply to you.

No, if you registered with DSI in 2021, then you are not required to complete the Continuing Professional Education program until 2022.

The deadline for completing the 2021 Continuing Professional Education program is 1 June 2022. If you have not yet started one of the Continuing Professional Education programs, please contact one of the education providers offering the 2021 Continuing Professional Education program to enrol in the programme.

If you have already completed the Continuing Professional Education requirements for 2021, congratulations! You can ignore this e-mail.

Twice each year, the education providers send DSI a list of professionals who have successfully completed the Continuing Professional Education program for that year. DSI received the results for the 2021 programme in January and July 2022. We process these results in the DSI register upon receipt, and when the data are processed we notify the Certified Professionals, even if our data show that a Certified Professional has not yet completed the Continuing Professional Education program for a register.

You do not have to submit the diplomas or certificates or upload any documents to prove that you have completed the study programme. DSI will process the results automatically based on the information we receive from the educational institutions.

We recommend that you contact your education provider. Our website provides an overview of all DSI-accredited education providers.

You can find a list of accredited education providers in this overview. Several different providers offer accredited Continuing Professional Education programs, so we recommend that you ask your employer if the organisation has made any arrangements with a specific provider. Many DSI participants have made such arrangements, so you may not have to choose a provider on your own.

The Continuing Professional Education objectives differ from register to register. The learning objectives for each register are listed on this page.

If you are registered with DSI before 1 January of the current calendar year, then you are required to complete the Continuing Professional Education program. It is important for you to keep your knowledge up-to-date, even if you have not yet earned all of the required diplomas or certificates.

This requirement does not apply to Candidate Certified Professionals or Certified Professionals listed in the Integrity register in 2021.

If a Certified Professional does not successfully complete the programme before 1 July 2022, then their current status in the DSI register will be converted to ‘Candidate Certified Professional’. That means you no longer meet the legal requirements for proving your professional expertise.

However, at the request of certifiers and participants, we have set the deadline for PV 2022 on June 1, 2023. This gives you plenty of time to meet the PV obligation for 2022.
