Questions Can I choose to forgo doing training to earn 20 CPD points this current licence term if I earn all 40 CPD points the next licence term? No. CPD points may not be earned retroactively. My nominee earned 40 CPD points but is leaving the company part way through the year. What will happen to the points they earned? You will need to select a new nominee for CPD and they will need to earn a minimum of 20 CPD points in order to meet the requirements for renewal. For more information, see Page 4: Choosing a Nominee for CPD. What is the best way to find a course that will earn me carry over into the next licence term? We suggest going to the Education Registry and selecting CPD – Formal or Qualifications as the offering type. These courses will earn you 2 CPD points per hour of learning. There are numerous courses on the registry to choose from that will earn you more than 20 CPD points. However, please note that if you do not pass the exam, you will only earn 1 point per hour as informal CPD.
