All SOA members are subject to the SOA CPD Requirement. The SOA CPD Requirement requires members to attest compliance at the end of each CPD period. Attestation began in 2010 with the end of the first rolling two-year CPD cycle and will continue each year into the future. Members attest by logging in to the member directory. You can follow these simple directions (below) to attest electronically; you may also submit your attestation via e-mail or facsimile by using the CPD attestation form.
