CNHC CPD at a glance
What happens in a CNHC CPD audit?
CNHC is the UK's voluntary regulator for complementary therapists, and maintaining your registration demonstrates a commitment to safe, accountable practice. CNHC may request CPD records at renewal or as part of a compliance review. A well-maintained digital log — showing activity dates, hours, types, and reflections — makes renewal straightforward and gives patients confidence in your professional standards.

CNHC CPD — frequently asked questions
How many CPD hours do CNHC registrants need per year?
The number of hours varies by modality. Most CNHC-registered professions require between 16 and 30 hours of CPD per year. You should check the specific requirement for your discipline in the CNHC CPD guidance for your profession. HourlyCPD lets you set a custom hours target to match your modality's requirement.
What activities count as CPD for CNHC?
CNHC accepts a broad range: attendance at courses and workshops, online learning, reading professional books and journals, attending conferences, supervised practice, peer consultation, and relevant personal development. Activities must be relevant to your complementary therapy practice.
Is CNHC registration mandatory?
CNHC is a voluntary register, but registration is increasingly expected by employers, insurers, and clients as a mark of professional accountability. Many occupational health schemes and GP referral pathways require CNHC registration as a condition of working with their clients.
What happens if I miss my CNHC CPD requirements?
If you fail to meet the CPD requirements for your modality, CNHC may decline to renew your registration or remove you from the register. Maintaining accurate CPD records throughout the year — rather than estimating at renewal time — protects your registration and professional standing.
