History of creation:
The Institute of Continuing Professional Education dates back to December 1, 2001, when the University established the Faculty of Advanced Training based on the order of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
In 2009, after the reorganization of KazGMA into Astana Medical University JSC, the faculty received a new name — Faculty of Continuous Professional Development and Additional Education.
On July 24, 2019, due to the renewal of the organizational structure, the faculty was transformed into the Center for Professional Development and Additional Education.
In 2022, the Center received a new name — the Center for Additional Education.
Since November 2023, as part of the further improvement of the university's structure, the department has been reorganized again and received its current name — the Institute of Continuing Professional Education (INPE).

To enroll in a professional development cycle or a certification course, the student provides the necessary documents no later than 3 days before the start of the training. If the training takes place in the direction of the organization, the contract must be sent 3 weeks before the start of the cycle.
The basis for the provision of paid educational services is a contract.
Organizations can conclude a contract directly or through the public procurement portal. To formalize the contract, you will need:
— a price offer,
—a study permit (subject, dates, cost, contacts).
Individuals draw up the contract in two copies according to the approved forms.
The tuition fee is determined based on the price list of the NAO "MUA", taking into account the form of study and the amount of hours / credits. The price list and contract forms are posted on the website in the "Professional development" section.
After submitting the application and signing the contract, the student receives a referral for training and is obliged to:
— comply with the requirements of regulatory acts in the field of education;
—attend classes;
—complete tasks on time;
— to master theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the chosen specialty.
