Continuing Professional Development Requirements

The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Requirements define the mandatory requirements for Certified Professional Environmental Auditors (CPEAs) and Certified Process Safety Auditors (CPSAs). It also specifies the method of reporting for certified auditors who wish to keep their designation in good standing.

Environmental, health and safety auditors are responsible for:
	Maintaining their technical and environmental, health and safety auditing knowledge and skills.
	Updating their knowledge and skills related to improvements and current developments in environmental, health and safety auditing standards, procedures, and techniques.

The BEAC Training & Education Committee has issued revised guidelines for Continuing Professional Development. The changes represent the first major review of the guidelines in 10 years. Some of the highlights include:

• expansion of CPD areas to include homeland security, sustainability, social auditing, energy auditing
• expansion of qualifying activities to include webinars, self-study courses, magazine tests, pro-bono volunteer activites, auditing activities, exam question writing, achievement of other certifications
