Recertification Requirements
The Podiatrists Board requires that practitioners who wish to hold an Annual Practising Certificate, undertake a continuing competence programme which is outlined in the Podiatrists Board Recertification Framework (PBRCF).
The Recertification Framework was revised in January 2008 with the Board extending the required time to complete competence requirements from three to four years, whilst retaining the 200 credit requirement. Please refer below to the revised PBRCF document and the Board's Evidential documents, which includes a sample logbook to assist practitioners.

Courses completed for the Re-certification Framework should be Endorsed by the Board. To assist practitioners, the Board has compiled a list of Endorsed Courses to which practitioners may wish to refer. This list is continually updated as more courses are presented to the Board for endorsement. Please click on the line below for this list.
