For CPD submission, renewal takes place at Product Suite level.
Product Suites are as follows:
ITIL® 4 Product Suite: All ITIL® 4 certifications
Project, Programme & Portfolio Management Product Suite: PRINCE2®, PRINCE2® Agile,
MoR®, MSP®, MoV®, MoP®, P3O®

CPD points Guide
Type of CPD: Choose one of 3 the categories for each activity.
Description field: Provide details of the activity for which you are logging your CPDs.
Points I’m claiming: Within Professional Education and Community, one point equates to
one hour’s worth of effort. You can record a minimum of 30 minutes or 0.5 points, and a
maximum of 15 hours or 15 points per activity.
Take into consideration that each point is rounded (i.e. if you add 5.2 this will change to 5, 6.7
will change 7 etc.). If you add more points than required, then this message will appear:
Completion date: For the five points of Professional Experience, you will need to list five separate
activities that you undertook in your role that relate to the best practice knowledge gained in your
certification(s), and that link to the skills and behaviours within your certification)(s).
