CPD Training for Teachers in the Philippines
In accordance with R.A. 10912, known as the Continuing Professional Development Act of 2016, Teachers and other professionals in the country are required to earn a certain number of CPD units before they can renew their PRC licenses.
This requirement is to ensure that professionals continuously develop their capacities, upgrade their skills, and stay updated on the latest trends in their respective fields. Specifically, the CPD training requirement for teachers focuses on updating subject matter knowledge and enhancing teaching skills for better learner outcomes.
The required number of CPD units varies from profession to profession; for Teachers, they need to earn 45 CPD units in the span of 3 years. They may opt to take CPD courses online in the Philippines to maximize learning.
Why is CPD Important for Teachers?
The importance of Continuing Professional Development is not only for PRC licenses but for allowing teachers to enhance their knowledge and capabilities.

Teachers can better prepare their students for the future when they are well-equipped to teach.
