Engr. Ernesto Ferreras Jr., PRB Chairman, presented on the latest development on CPD. Most important concern right now is the drafting of the amendment to the Operational Guidelines (OG) of the aero engineering profession to insert/create provisions on the latest policies of PRC regarding CPD. Foremost of the changes is to revise the minimum number of credit units required for ID renewal from 45 to 15 credit units.

This is in accordance with PRC policy of affordable and encompassing CPD activities for all professionals during the early years of CPD implementation.
