Yes, in general up to 12 CPD points over two years of training from non-Dru providers can be used for your CPD. On occasion, additional points from non-Dru providers can be used. If unsure, please check with the DPN team.
What if I have been a DPN member for ten years or more?
If you have been a Dru Yoga Teacher and a DPN member for 10 years or more, then you are exempt from recording CPD points.
For the record
CPD is recorded every year and assessed over the two years before renewal of DPN membership. This is the case for all full DPN members. You start accruing CPD points as soon as you graduate.
Your CPD record may include records of learning through Dru, through other approved providers, self-guided study, and learning through Dru mentoring. Your CPD record must be kept current and correct and be available to furnish in the event of an audit. You can find CPD points accrued through Dru events in your customer account on druyoga.com in 'events & tickets'.
