The approval process
Acknowledgement of Receipt of Applications
Upon receipt of the application and accompanying documents from the activity organiser, the AAPT Secretary will review the received documentation to check all is in order.
An acknowledgement email will be sent to the applicant to inform that the application is now at the approval stage.
Approval
The full documentation will be sent to the AAPT CPD approval reps with a suggested credit rating (1 per hour of activity). The reps as of June 2023 are AAPT Council members Tarot Noble-Harris FAAPT and Gemma Norburn RSciTech MAAPT.
The reps will be given seven days to approve the application and inform the AAPT Secretary of the outcome. The official Application Form AAPT CPD Approval contains an Office Use Only field and this must be completed and returned to the AAPT Secretary.
Post-Approval
If applicable, the activity will be added to the Events listing on the AAPT website and this will include the credit allocation. The AAPT Council will receive a list of successful CPD activities at each Council meeting (usually two-three times a year).
The applicant will be informed of the outcome by email and sent the template AAPT CPD Certificate of Attendance.
