CPD for builders and pool builders
CPD activities earn you either one or two points per hour or up to four points per year. You must complete activities related to at least one of eight Continuing Professional Development topics to make up 12 points per year.
Lunch and travel time do not count towards points.
Up to 11 surplus CPD points earned in a year can be carried forward for 12 months.
One point per hour learning
To earn one point per hour, the learning must:
- relate to one of eight topics
- have an identifiable learning outcome, which means you are able to say what it is you have learned
- be interactive, which means you must participate to complete your learning
- be delivered as a course, workshop, trade session, forum or conference as either an online or e-learning activity or a face-to-face activity where you participate in person
- be delivered by an organisation or person with specialist industry expertise.
Two points per hour learning
To earn two points per hour, the learning must:
- relate to one of eight topics
- have an assessable learning outcome (this means your learning is linked to a National Training Package or an Australian university qualification)
- be delivered by an Australian university or a Registered Training Organisation (RTO).
Other CPD point options
You can earn a maximum of four points per year by employing apprentices or trainees AND/OR if your partner or associate undertakes CPD activities on behalf of the business.
Employing apprentices or trainees
You can earn one CPD point per year for each person you employ under a formal training arrangement such as an apprenticeship or traineeship. If you don't have a partner or associate to earn CPD points for your business, you can earn a maximum of four CPD points per year from employing apprentices or trainees.
Partner or associate's learning
Your partner or associate can complete one or two points per hour learning on behalf of the business. If you don't employ apprentices or trainees, you can earn a maximum of four points per year from your partner or associate's learning. If you employ apprentices or trainees AND you have a partner or associate who wants to undertake learning on behalf of the business, the total number of CPD points you can earn from these activities combined is four per year.
