Important notes:

  • Foundation Program is the generic term for the Level 1 (UPFC) program
  • The admission exam refers to the L1 (UPFC) exam
  • (The term “admission” is used here as the L1 (UPFC) exam is conducted for Affiliates to convert to Full Member status & thus “admitted” into SIP as a Full SIP Member
  • For Pathways 4 & 5, Candidates are allowed to choose their start date of the two-year period to earn the 30 CPD point required. Candidates can choose their two-year period to start from:
    • the date the UPFC was conducted (typically held in November), or
    • from 1 January of the same year the UPFC was conducted.
    • However, Candidates must declare their choice of the start date to SIP CPD Secretariat upon receipt of notice of passing the UPFC examination.
