Accreditation requirements for professional practice registration or licensure vary depending on the regulatory organisation of a country or state. Some organisations require you to complete courses that have been accredited in your location, other organisations do not require courses to be accredited and are happy to accept Physioplus points and certificates as proof of continuing education and professional development. At Physioplus we work with many regulatory organisations who approve or accept the learning you do with us as part of your professional development.
If your country/state requires you to complete accredited courses and it is not listed below please get in touch to let us know.

South African Society of Physiotherapy
The South African Society of PhysiotherapyTM (SASP®) has been an accreditor for many years, as a service to their members and groups, in providing and accrediting Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activities. The SASP prides itself in facilitating quality professional development within the broad scope of the profession. The Accreditation Panel of the SASP is guided by the rules of the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).
The HPCSA allows Cross Recognition of Continuing Educational Units (CEU’s). If a CPD activity has been accredited by an Accreditor for a specific professional board, all health care professionals may attend that activity if it is relevant to their specific scope of practice. Health practitioners will therefore not need to apply for that activity to be re-accredited by their own professional board in order to claim the CEUs accrued for attending that activity already in the document at the definitions under Recognition.
