You must receive evidence of completion and keep CPD records for up to four years.

Do New Licensees Have Pro-Rata CPD Requirements?

Yes. If you become licensed part-way through the CPD year, your CPD points are reduced proportionally.

For example:

  • Licensed mid-year → fewer CPD points required
  • Licensed late in the year → minimal CPD points required

This ensures CPD requirements are fair and achievable for new entrants.
