CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION (CPE)


"Continuing Professional Education must enhance
the Financial Counsellor's professional practice."

In order to qualify for accredited membership of the Victorian Association of Financial Counsellors a minimum amount of Continuing Professional Education must be completed and recorded each year.

The model used for CPE is one giving responsibility to individual members to design their own professional development program. A broad range of activities are provided to choose from, including reading relevent materials, participation in structured professional development sessions, presentation of professional development sessions, and supervision of students.

The CPE component of annual accreditation also includes supervision for all workers which is given high priority by the VAFC as an invaluable support mechanism for Financial Counsellors.

Further detailed information, for members only, is available at the VAFC online community at http://www.mc2.vicnet.net.au (see Newsletters).
