KPA_Nairobi Branch awards CPD Points to all participants in the form of Token numbers that the attendees use in claiming their CPD Points for the events attended. The CPD token numbers are shared with all the participants via the email addresses that they provide upon registration into an event.
Ideally; an event is expected to be in the PPB portal within the period in which the event is being held. After the event’s period has lapsed and the event is done, it is also expected to lapse in the portal too. Thus, a participant is expected to subscribe to the event in the portal at the time the event is happening.
All token numbers are scheduled to expire by 31st December at midnight of each calendar year. In case you enter any token number in the claim token section and it indicates Expired/Invalid; then it means that:
- The token number entered is wrong.
- Some numbers may be missing within the token number.
- You are entering the token number in a wrong event that is not meant for it.
Cpd points are the requisite number of points gained upon attainment of knowledge in an in-person or online meeting or a course. As a result, Excess CPD points are not transferable to another person neither are they rolled over to another year. Once gained in a previous calendar year; the points remain just for that particular year. Every new year, it's expected that you will gain other requisite knowledge hence other Cpd points for that new year.

Hence, you will be sent a token number because you attended the event, but you will not be able to claim that token number because the event does not appear in the claim token section. This means that; you shall have lost the claim for that CPD point.
