Continuing Professional Development

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is essential activity that is required of all Professional Simulation Engineers. Individuals who are PSE certified should reflect on their CPD activities record what they have learned or achieved through them.

If you renew your qualification and maintain the existing level of certification you will be asked to attest that you have been performing CPD. You will also be asked to indicate what form of CPD you have undertaken.

PSE renewal applications for those seeking to maintain their existing level of PSE certification are randomly sampled. If selected you will be invited to participate in a PSE certification interview.
