About this tool
What the Professional Development Hours Tracker does
Licences and certifications often require a number of continuing education or CPD hours in each renewal cycle, sometimes with minimums in specific topics such as ethics. Totalling completed activities against the requirement shows what remains and the pace needed before renewal.
It also works as a professional development credit hour tracker or a CPD hours calculator.
Formula
- Completed = Σ activity hours
- Remaining = required − completed
- Per year = remaining ÷ years left
Worked example
Using the starting values in the calculator above:
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Hours required in the cycle | 60 |
| Completed activities | 4 entries |
| Years left in the cycle | 2.5 |
| Ethics hours required | 3 |
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Hours still needed | 31.0 |
| Progress | 48.3% |
| Hours completed | 29.0 |
| Hours needed per year | 12.4 |
| Ethics requirement | Met |
How to read the result
Keep certificates for each activity; licensing boards may audit a sample of renewals.
Check which activity types count and any caps, such as limits on self-study hours.
