Question 1

An HCC certificant's employer offers in-house training on interim life safety measures (ILSM) for ongoing hospital renovation projects. Can this activity qualify for CPD credit?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if the training has defined learning objectives, is documented, and addresses HCC competency domains

Answer

Employer-provided training qualifies for CPD credit when it has clear learning objectives, covers relevant content, and is properly documented.

Question 2

What is the purpose of maintaining a personal CPD portfolio throughout the certification cycle rather than compiling records only at renewal time?

Maintaining an ongoing CPD portfolio ensures all supporting documentation is readily available if the certificant is selected for an audit during or at the end of the cycle.

Accepted Answer

The relevance of the content to HCC competency domains and whether a completion record is issued

Answer

Content relevance to HCC competency domains and the availability of a verifiable completion record are the primary qualifying factors for any CPD activity including webinars.

It qualifies as a professional contribution activity, with credit based on documented hours of participation

Answer

Serving on standards-development committees is recognized as a professional contribution activity in CPD programs, with credit tied to documented participation hours.

Question 5

What action should an HCC certificant take if a CPD provider issues a certificate with incorrect information, such as wrong hours or incorrect dates?
