This page has information for training providers on applying to CBOS for approval of continuing professional development (CPD) events, training or activities.
Before applying for CPD approval
Before applying, you should consider whether the training or event meets the criteria. We recommend you read Meeting the Criteria – how we assess the CPD activity.
You should apply at least 3 weeks before an activity is held. This will ensure that you receive confirmation of the CPD points before running the activity.
Is a course already approved?
To find if a course is already approved for training/competencies and/or holds nationally accredited status for training check with CBOS:
Nationally accredited training is approved for CPD points provided the training is directly relevant to a practitioner’s licence requirements – refer to the CPD Determination for points allocation.
