Continuing Professional Development
Learning is the heart of professional development. When you invest the time and effort into expanding your skills, it is vital that this dedication is formally recognised - both by your employers and by your professional bodies.
To ensure your commitment is fully rewarded, I partner with leading professional organisations to provide accredited learning paths. Below are the current CPD and Continuing Education avenues available through my work at Soiléir.
Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI)
If you are looking to design a learning programme specifically geared toward psychologists, we can submit the course for Psychological Society of Ireland Learning Standards Approval.
Securing this official pre-approval from the PSI ensures your team is receiving high-quality education that strictly meets the society's rigorous criteria and standards. Upon completion, participating psychologists will be awarded an official PSI certificate of attendance, allowing them to confidently log their hours directly toward their annual CPD requirements.
Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB)- Approved Continuing Education (ACE) provider
For training designed around behavior-analytic principles and content, I can offer Approved Continuing Education (CE) Credits through my role as an authorized BACB provider.
Remaining compliant with your certification cycle is vital. As a reminder, Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) are required to log 32 CE hours every two-year cycle, while Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts (BCaBAs) must log 20 hours within that same period. Partnering with Soiléir allows your team to gain practical, real-world insights while seamlessly fulfilling these mandatory professional requirements.
International Behavior Analysis Organization® - Approved Continuing Education Provider
The IBAO® is a global organization dedicated to ensuring ethical practices, protecting consumers, and maintaining exceptional educational standards within the field of Applied Behaviour Analysis worldwide. I am delighted that Soiléir is an approved CEU provider with this organization.
If you hold the International Behavior Analyst (IBA®) credential, you are required to log 12 CEUs per renewal cycle. Through Soiléir, you can access the targeted, high-quality content needed to satisfy these specific requirements—including mandatory hours in ethics, supervision, and cultural diversity, alongside general ABA topics.
Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland
For courses specifically designed to benefit the nursing profession, I secure Category 1 Approval from the NMBI. This official endorsement ensures that your nursing staff receive high-quality, relevant training while earning approved continuing education credits that count directly toward their mandatory NMBI professional development portfolios.
Other Professional Bodies
I am closely following the evolving professional landscape in Ireland, including initiatives like CORU (the health and social care professionals regulator) and Cosán (the Teaching Council’s framework for teacher learning). As these frameworks develop, my goal is to proactively align and streamline Soiléir’s learning inputs so they meet any emerging requirements seamlessly.
If your team operates under a different framework, I am always happy to discuss and explore alternative CPD avenues tailored specifically to your unique professional needs and regulatory standards.
