We provide accreditation that aligns with national standards and professional licensure requirements.
How CPD is Recognised Across Australia
In Australia, CPD is mandated by national regulators such as AHPRA, Engineers Australia, and CPA Australia. Annual CPD hour requirements are set and audited by professional boards.
What activities can be CPD accredited in Aust?
CPD training courses are one of the most recognised ways to complete Continuing Professional Development. These structured programs vary in length and focus, typically covering a specific topic, industry skillset, or compliance requirement. Courses may be delivered in-person or online and are often supported by learning materials, assessments, or certificates.
Online CPD courses provide flexible, on-demand learning options that professionals can complete from anywhere. These self-paced programs may include videos, reading materials, quizzes, or downloadable resources, and are often used for scalable, cost-effective professional development.
CPD workshops offer a practical, hands-on approach to learning. Unlike seminars, workshops are designed to build applied skills through exercises, role play, case studies, and group activities. They’re highly interactive and often tailored for specific professions or learning outcomes.
CPD seminars are short, subject-focused learning sessions typically lasting a few hours to a full day. Delivered in group settings, seminars encourage expert-led presentations alongside open discussion and peer engagement. They are ideal for deep dives into specific topics or regulatory updates.
CPD webinars are online learning sessions delivered live or on-demand. These virtual events offer convenient, accessible learning and are ideal for delivering expert insights, compliance updates, or sector-specific training to large audiences in real time.
CPD events refer to larger-scale professional development opportunities such as conferences, forums, or symposiums. These events typically include keynote speakers, breakout sessions, networking opportunities, and specialised CPD workshops or seminars. They are often used to bring together industry professionals for knowledge exchange and learning.
