If hours are short.

What happens if I miss my hours?

You have 90 days after the renewal date to make them up. After that, the credential shows as “renewal pending” until the hours are recorded.

Are Passports audited?

A random sample is audited every year; you may be asked for evidence of external CPD.

Can I see an example?

A sample Passport with a fictional neutral is in the Practitioner’s Kit.
