Can I get training in a language other than English? Yes, although training providers may deliver training in a language other than English, all the documentation you provide as evidence for your CPD programmust be in English. Who will pay for the training costs? You are responsible for all the costs associated with your training, whether it’s formal or informal. How much will CPD cost? CPD costs will vary depending on the type of training you select. How much of my training time can be claimed towards CPD points? You can only claim CPD points for class time. This includes: time spent in a classroom, workshop, webinar, or online training where active learning is taking place. Class time doesn’t include lunch, coffee breaks, registration, out-of-class study, taking an exam, or completing an out-of-class assignment. Can I claim the same points for multiple licences? Yes, if the person doing the training holds multiple licences OR is the nominee of a multiple licence holder, and the activity took place during the licence term. When should I record my points? You should record your CPD points as soon as you earn them, rather than waiting to submit your total points at one time. This will keep your CPD records up to date and help you to track your progress towards the 20 points required for licence renewal. It also ensures you will have enough time to address possible shortfalls and contact Licensing & Consumer Services for help, if needed. If you do not record 20 CPD points by the licence expiry date, it may cause delays or possible denial of your licence renewal. Can I earn points if I take the same course more than once? You can only claim points for an individual course once. Unless there has been substantial changes to a course you will not be able to claim credit for it again.
