PLEASE TAKE NOTE:

In order for us to correctly upload your CPD points to the SAVC Online Portal, it is imperative that you enter your details correctly upon registration for all webinars and conferences.

The first letter must be in CAPITALS followed by the year of registration. Then insert a backslash / (no space before or after), followed by your unique registration number.

Please ensure you enter a zero and not a capital O as part of your number.

Do not enter SAVC before your council number, do not enter any spaces.

Incorrect examples:
SAVC D22 / 12345
D 22 / 12345
D22//12345
D22/O2345

The correct way is
D22/12345
D22/02345

Any number entered incorrectly will not be uploaded to the portal.

1. Structured points

• You will receive structured CPD points for attending veterinary congresses/events/online courses/ webinars, and such.
• You can download the CPD points allocation document under the CPD menu in the Registree Portal to check these allocations.
• Providers will upload your CPD points when you attended their events which were accredited via the Online CPD Provider Portal since October 2019.
• You do not need a certificate when Providers upload CPD points from their side.
• *Before you attend a CPD event though, find out whether the provider will upload CPD points or if it is still an event which were accredited before the new electronic system came into place – then they would still have to provide proof of attendance which you will have to keep safe.

2. Structured points: Individual Accreditation (Individual allocation of points)

• Points for individual accreditation is also included under structured points in the structured column.
• This will be for conferences attended abroad, local events with 5 people or less and presenting.
• This is a new functionality and we only just started with this electronic process at the beginning of September of this year.
• The process is basically the same as before, you can still submit your applications to Lenora Erasmus with the proof of attendance.
• The difference is that she will now submit these applications via the electronic platform for accreditation and once accredited, the Administration will upload your points.
• For all previous manual individual applications, you will still have to keep your certificates.

3. Manually accredited events

• For all manually accredited events, before the electronic CPD accreditation portal came into place in October 2019:
• Keep all your certificates/proof of attendance.
• These points cannot be uploaded to your profile. Not without an electronic accreditation number and not as a certificate.
• These points, together with the uploaded points, amounts to your total structured points until 2024, when all cycles become aligned with the online process.
