Extension of the 2020 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Requirements for 2021

AICB is aware that the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak has somewhat affected our members’ ability to fulfil their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements for 2021 as well.

In view of this, the AICB Council has considered the request by The Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) in January 2021 on the extension of the 2020 CPD requirements for 2021. We are pleased to share that the proposal has been approved and is detailed in the table below.
