Participants operating outside of the Western Australia will be given adequate opportunities to obtain their CPD points.
Remote participants can now complete all of their CPD requirements online by contacting a training provider.
Any participant who is late to a mandatory training session by 30 minutes or more will not be eligible to claim CPD points for that session.
If a participant arrives more than 30 minutes late and stays for the remainder of the activity, the participant will only be eligible for the CPD points when they re-schedule the same activity with the same training provider to complete the part of the activity which they missed.
Consumer Protection will only subsidise the participant's attendance when they have completed the period of the session they initially did not attend. Participants are responsible for withdrawing or re-scheduling the activity prior to the arranged attendance if they cannot make it on time.
A mandatory CPD activity is an activity that Consumer Protection requires licensed agents, sales representatives and property managers to complete for the purpose of their CPD requirements per calendar year. Each activity is comprised of three subjects. Prior to January each year, Consumer Protection will advise the industry of the activities that licensed agents, sales representatives and property managers will need to complete in the next calendar year. The subject areas for these activities will address the latest industry compliance issues, legislative changes and work practices.
Licensed agents, sales representatives and property managers will only be funded to attend one mandatory session once per calendar year.
You must attend the mandatory activity for licensed agents if you are both an individual licensed agent with a triennial certificate and a registered sales representative. Consumer Protection will not fund your attendance at the sales representative’s mandatory CPD activity nor the property manager’s mandatory CPD activity.
* Important funding notice:
It is important to note that funding will only be provided for attendance at the mandatory activities listed above in the year of compliance, and are relevant to the participant's licence/registration. Funding will also only be provided for participants with a current agent’s licence or certificate of registration at the time of attending the course.
Participants are responsible for paying the cost of completing any catch-up courses, or for any additional mandatory activities completed.
