Licensed insurance intermediaries are required to comply with the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements stipulated by the Insurance Authority (IA). HKCAAVQ is appointed by IA as the Assessment Authority responsible for the assessment of Type 1 Qualified CPD Activities, including Structured Activities and E-learning Activities.
The objective of CPD Activities is to ensure that licensed insurance intermediaries continuously update their technical and regulatory knowledge and refresh themselves on the ethical standards for carrying on the regulated activities.
HKCAAVQ provides both assessment and vetting services for Qualified CPD Activities. For details, please refer to the sections below.
Providers who wish to offer Type 1 Qualified CPD Activities, including Structured Activities and E-learning Activities should submit their applications via e-Portal to HKCAAVQ for assessment at least one month before the commencement of the activities.
All approved CPD activities are subject to re-assessment on an annual basis. Re-assessments not submitted within six months of expiry will be treated as new applications for assessment if submitted after that time.
Provided that all relevant information is submitted, CPD activity providers will normally receive a formal notification of the assessment or re-assessment results from the HKCAAVQ four weeks after the date of application.
To submit online applications for Assessment and Vetting, please go to the “e-Portal” for details.
