Under the Insurance Intermediaries Quality Assurance Scheme (IIQAS), insurance intermediaries, their responsible officers/chief executives and technical representatives (collectively termed as "insurance intermediaries") are required to comply with the requirements of the IIQAS Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programme.

The objective of the CPD Programme is to ensure that insurance intermediaries continue to possess updated knowledge, professional competence and standard in providing advice and service to the policy holders and potential policy holders.

The HKCAAVQ has been appointed by the Insurance Authority as the sole assessment authority for the CPD Programme. Activity providers who wish to offer CPD activities under IIQAS may submit their applications to the HKCAAVQ one month before the intended commencement of the activities.

All approved CPD activities are subject to re-assessment on an annual basis. An annual re-assessment exercise will be instituted about 12 months after approval. If approval is not renewed, the approval status of the activity will automatically cease after the approval period. Re-assessment not submitted within six months of expiry will be treated as expired cases. They will be treated as new cases for assessment if submitted thereafter.
