Is the NTC portal open?

What are CPD points?
The Continuous Professional Development points are a series of grades that teachers are expected to acquire. This is possible by participating in training and courses made available by certain bodies that the Ministry of Education has accredited in Ghana.
This has become important as the Ghana Education Service is trying to ensure that students get the best knowledge from their teachers in the classroom. Nevertheless, teachers can choose from about 21 courses to bolster their CPD points, though three of these are mandatory. Each of the courses carries an equal point of 5.
