Registered Professional Social Worker CPD Requirements in Cyprus

Registered Professional Social Workers in Cyprus follow a CPD-based model rather than a fixed hour total. Social work is a statutorily regulated, protected-title profession in Cyprus under the Registration of Professional Social Workers Law (Law 126(I)/2000, as amended). Registration requires a recognised social work qualification and entry on the register maintained by the Registration Council. A practising registration applies, but no Cyprus statute identified in this pass prescribes a fixed number of periodic CPD hours as a condition of renewal. CPD is professionally encouraged (e.g., through the Cyprus Association of Social Workers), but not statutorily mandated with an hour count. Primary statute text and council renewal pages could not be retrieved in this research pass, so treat the 'no mandated CPD hours' finding as provisional.

Cyprus does not mandate specific CE subjects for Registered Professional Social Worker beyond the general requirement — any board-approved continuing education generally counts. Always confirm with the regulator.

Generally yes — Cyprus does not require live or interactive hours for Registered Professional Social Worker, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: N/A - no statutory CPD hour requirement identified.

Regulator/registration council sits under the social-welfare ministry rather than health. Title 'social worker' is protected. No dedicated statutory CPD-hours renewal scheme identified. Official council/statute pages were provenance/network-blocked during this pass; determination rests on general regulatory knowledge rather than a verified current statute reading.
