Abstract
UWC has since 1998 a new Mission Statement which commits the university to Lifelong Learning. Since 1996 there has been a process to give content to this commitment. The process included surveys of distance education and resource-based learning at UWC, continuing professional education and an overall report with recommendations on Lifelong Learning by 2001. This report is a further component of the investigation into lifelong learning which highlights specifically the situation of Continuing Professional Education in all faculties, School and Centres and how to quality assure the programmes. The report formulates recommendations to increase enrolments and how to acquire full accreditation through the South African Qualification Authority (SAQA). It recommends the development of an institutional CPE policy and course database in line with this goal.
