Which entity sets the rules for CPD for license renewal under RA 10912?

• A. Professional Regulation Commission (PRC)
• B. Department of Education
• C. TESDA
• D. CHED

Answer: (A)

Continuing professional development for renewing a professional license is governed by the Professional Regulation Commission. Under RA 10912, also known as the CPD Act, PRC is empowered to set the policies, standards, and procedures for CPD, approve CPD activities, and recognize CPD providers and units that count toward licensure renewal. In practice, PRC (often through the relevant Professional Regulatory Boards) determines what activities qualify as CPD, how many units are required, and how compliance is reported. The other agencies—Department of Education, CHED, and TESDA—handle education and training within their own sectors and do not set the CPD rules for licensure renewal under RA 10912.
