About CPD at WorldCC

Dedicated to raising the quality and integrity of trading relationships, WorldCC provides its members with a diverse set of resources to help individuals advance their competencies and competitiveness in the commercial marketplace. These resources are part of WorldCC’s Continuing Professional Development (CPD) portfolio which provide opportunities for members to actively engage – via social commercial networks, on-demand resource library, webinars, conferences and online certification training – and stay connected with best practices, trends and changes in the field that impact their future.

CPD is key to demonstrating best-in-class competency and qualification. Members who are certified in Contract and Commercial Management (CCM) or Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) must stay active by earning CPD points to maintain their WorldCC certification. Specifically, WorldCC certifications must be renewed every two years and to do so, certification holders must demonstrate their competency by collecting at least 40 CPD points within the two-year period. CPD can be acquired through participation in WorldCC activities and utilizing member resources. This catalog is intended to support members achieve their CPD requirement by suggesting engagement organized by topic. 

We update this catalog regularly to offer the most current resources available. In addition to WorldCC resources, members can also achieve CPD points by participating in related in-house training and events, and related thirdparty training and events. One hour of activity typically equates to one CPD point, and members capture their CPD activities and points through updating their learning tracker in their membership profile. Certified members must earn 4 CPD points in Business Ethics and/or Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) as part of the 40 CPD points required for certification. These items are highlighted in green e.g.   1 CPD point
