7. General Requirement and Conduct of CPD.

a. A registered engineer may, accumulate up to a minimum of 25
credit points in first five years after initial registration and
thereafter minimum 5 credit points every year.
b. Additional credit points accumulated during any one year may
be carried over to subsequent years, subject to maximum of 25
in first 5 years after initial registration and 15 for every three
years, thereafter.
c. Categories of CPD. The CPD programmes include additional
qualifications, professional skills, relevant management and
communication skills acquired through additional training and

6
 experience. These aspects are grouped into four different
categories of training:-
(1) Formal Education. Acquiring knowledge through formal
technical education i.e. M.Sc Engineering, Ph.D
Engineering and related education in Management, Law,
Finance, Economics and Architecture etc. Such activity
includes face to face education, distance education, and
short courses etc. A diploma course is defined as a face to
face course of a minimum four months duration involving
specialist presenters/ resource persons who are external to
the workplace.
(2) Work-based Learning. It includes on-job learning that
takes place because of the workplace requirements on a
project like construction and operation at site, and
development of computer programmes/ software
package, etc.
(3) Developmental Activities. Attendance of international
level structured educational /developmental meetings
over a period of time like conferences, workshops,
seminars and refresher courses from PEC approved
bodies.
(4) Individual Activities. Publications of technical articles
in reputed journals, part time lecturing in an approved
technical institution, evaluation of dissertation at post-
graduate level as external examiner, and other
participatory activities in PEC recognized technical
associations/institutions etc are covered under this form
of activity.
d. Accumulation of CPD. CPD shall be accumulated in the four
categories described in Annex-A. At least one credit point must
be obtained annually from categories 2 and 3.

7
e. Conduct of CPD. The Governing Body of PEC shall ensure
and manage the professional development of engineers in terms
of its obligation under the Act. However, the EPDB shall
administer the professional development activities according to
specified criteria and guidelines laid down by PEC. Professional
institutions and associations, CPD academies, engineering
universities/colleges and private institutions, registered by PEC
may impart CPD in coordination with EPDB. All these
institutions shall be known as professional engineering bodies
in terms of Section 2(e). PEC shall ensure that the
responsibilities outsourced to the bodies are carried out in a fair,
equitable and responsible manner. The PEC retains the right to
withdraw any outsourced responsibility from a registered
professional engineering body if the circumstances so require.
f. Recording of CPD.
(1) Unless exempted in terms of these rules, all registered
engineers must, with effect from 1st January 2009, record
their CPD activities with EPDB in the following manner:
(a) Either manually by posting an authenticated copy
of certificate received from a professional
engineering body to EPDB, or electronically in a
password-protected private domain for each
registered engineer, through website
www.pec.org.pk .
(b) Registered persons may record individual CPD
activities with EPDB on continuous basis as they
occur, provided that all CPD activities undertaken
are recorded within 60 days after completion of
each activity.

8
 (c) All CPD activities shall be backed by authenticated
certificate/document issued by a professional
engineering body and shall be produced on
demand.
(2) When recording CPD activities under sub-rule 7f (1), any
registered person who is registered in more than one
professional category must inform the EPDB regarding
category of registration which is most appropriate to
his/her area of practice, in which case the EPDB
evaluates the appropriateness of the CPD activities so
recorded in the context of the registration category
preferred by such person.
(3) CPD records will be checked and verified by EPDB
against requirement of CPD policy and supporting
documents provided. In case further clarification is
required, this information will be provided to EPDB or an
interview may be arranged at a mutually convenient time
and place. The verification may take the form of a
certificate/result/record of attendance with written
verification from the registered provider/institution of
CPD activity. In case the CPD record fails the verification
activity audit, recommendations for remedial measures
may be made. False claims shall be treated as serious
breach of ethics and invite disciplinary actions as per the
Act.
g. Possible Exemptions/Remissions for CPD Requirement.
(1) RE/PE undertaking post-graduate studies is not exempt
from CPD requirement until award of the qualification.
(2) RE/PE practicing abroad should meet the same
requirements as in Pakistan for initial/renewal of PEC

9
 registration except those registered with Engineers
Mobility Forum.
(3) On attaining the age of 75 years, an engineer would be
presumed to have retired and would automatically be
included in PEC database as such, unless he/she declares
to the PEC otherwise and continues to acquire minimum
3 credit points per annum.
(4) RE/PE may apply for deferment of CPD. Such cases will
be reviewed by EPBD and decided on merit. Cases of
physical disability, serious illness or other extenuating
circumstances may be considered for exemption for an
appropriate period of time.
(5) A prospective candidate can appear in EPE after a
minimum five years of practical experience. However,
the following credit of experience may be given if he/she
has obtained a recognized post-graduate engineering
degree, as under:-
Provided the Degree is obtained
(a) M.Sc 12 Months
from an accredited engineering
(b) Ph.D 24 Months

h. Audit. PEC will conduct random audits of up to 10% of the CPD

records of all registered engineers in different categories of
registration annually. If selected for audit, registered engineers
will be required to send, within eight weeks of initial
notification, verification of their CPD activities in the form of a
certificate, list of results, record of attendance, receipt of course
payment, or a written verification from the registered
educational institution, which presented the developmental activity.
i. Non-Compliance. In the event of a RE/PE not complying with
the requirements of the CPD system, PEC may impose any one
or more of the following conditions:

10
