You can earn all your CPD Points by completing a CPD building course, which you can either download online and study in the comfort of your own home or attend a 1 day workshop. We have a wide range of building courses you can select from.
Acceptable CPD activities include workshops (seminars), conferences, forums, courses, trade nights, and formal meetings. The topics covered in these CPD activities must relate to at least one of the eight (8) topics as approved by the NSW Office of Fair Trading.
From 1st January 2008, the new CPD System now involves the following:
- you must accumulate at least 12 points every 12 months or 36 points every 3 years, depending on whether you hold a one year or three year licence.
- the relevant 12 months under the new CPD system started from the date that you first renewed your licence in 2008
