Minimum requirements
In order to maintain certification a minimum of 50 weighted hours are required. Please note that the weighted hours are calculated by multiplying the actual hours by the relevant time weighting factors. All weightings are per hour of activity time. For example, John Smith attends a program on City Logistics at the University of Melbourne for 5 weeks involving 2 hours per week attendance at lectures. The total 10 hours of attendance are then multiplied by the weighting 2.0 in category A for a total of 20 hours CPD.
Participation in each CPD activity must specify a direct relationship to the specific professional capability to which the CPD relates. This requirement ensures CPD activities are closely linked to the profession.
Category Criteria
A Face to Face hours or equivalent courses that include some form of assessment
B1 Related to professional development
B2 Private study is self-paced and involves the reading of books, journals and manuals to familiarise yourself with the latest techniques, legal requirements, etc. Participants must list details of the book, journal, manual etc as well as the article/chapter headings to give an indication of new knowledge gained.
C Conferences, seminars, workshops, exhibitions, inspections and meetings run by acknowledged experts can be claimed as CPD provided that the content relates to the development of your professional career. Social functions are not to be included.
D Preparation and presentation of material for Conferences, seminars, meetings and workshops can be claimed if these activities are related to your professional development. Participants are not able to claim for the preparation of materials for courses that are part of their normal employment.
E This includes participation on committees and/or panels involved with the furthering of the profession, as well as the holding of a position on a Board of Directors of a recognised association.
F Special activities or events that will have a weighting factor as detailed by each association.
Continuing Professional Development Activities Logbook
When your Certificate is received, the professional association, or TALC, that you nominated to assess your application will advise you of its specific requirements for CPD and the keeping of a record of your CPD activity.
CPD Career Breaks
Breaks in the CPD component can be prior arranged if required because of personal circumstances for a period not exceeding 5 years. Your assessing association or TALC can provide advice.
