professional" "unprofessional to act that way" imply a code of ethics by which professional people abide. In short, a
professional is one who conforms to the technical or ethical standards of a profession. So two elements of a profession
are competence and a Code of Ethics.

The other elements of a profession are:


1. Initial Professional Education — Professionals generally begin their professional lives by completing a university
program in their chosen fields — teacher education, engineering, nursing, accountancy. This means long and
arduous years of preparation. Take note this is just initial, which means only the beginning because a
professional is expected to learn endlessly.

2. Accreditation — University programs are approved by a regulatory body like the Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) in the Philippines to ensure that graduates from these recognized programs start their
professional lives with competence.

3. Licensing — Licensing is mandatory, not voluntary and is administered by a government authority. In the
Philippines, this government authority is the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC).

4. Professional Development - This is an ongoing professional education that maintains or improves


professionals' knowledge and skills after they begin professional practice. In the Philippines, this is Continuing
Professional Development mandated by RA 10912, otherwise known as the CPD Act of 2016.

5. Professional Societies - Professionals see themselves as part of a community of likeminded individuals who put
their professional standards above the individual self-interest or their employer's self-interest. These
professional societies put dedication to the public interest and commitment to moral and ethical values.
Professional societies define certification criteria, manage certification programs, establish accreditation
standards and define a code of ethics and disciplinary action for violations of that code.

6. Code of Ethics - Each profession has a code of ethics to ensure that its practitioners behave responsibly. The
code states what professionals should do. Professionals can be ejected from their professional societies or lose
their licenses to practice for violating the code of ethics.
The teaching profession is governed by the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers. Violation of the
Code of Ethics for professional teachers is one of the grounds for the revocation of the professional teacher's
Certificate of Registration and suspension from the practice of the teaching profession (Sec. 23., RA. 7836).
