FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR
CPD COURSES
A one-hour CPD presentation including an assessment
and Q&A is eligible for 1 formal CPD point.
Can we get 2 CPD points?
For a group of eight or more, we can provide a two-hour presentation that either presents an extended, in-depth version of a single course or combines two courses together.
Can we make it 30 minutes?
The architect board’s policy requires all CPD activities to be at least 1 hour. You may want to refer to your local state board to confirm this policy.
Will we get a certificate?
Each attendee who completes the attendance sheet receives a personalised certificate listing AACA competency standards and confirming their attendance.
What facilities will be required?
We need a meeting room large enough for all attendees and a screen or projector for the presenter (and reasonable acoustics!). The meeting room will need to be available 15 minutes before the presentation’s scheduled start for set-up.
How many can attend?
We need at least five delegates to justify the presenter cost, but there is no maximum if the venue can accommodate them all. Please give the presenter at least 48 hours notice of delegate numbers so we can supply sufficient copies of reference material.
Do you hold presentations in regional areas?
We can. We recommend considering getting together a larger group from several practises for a two- hour presentation to maximise learning opportunities and the CPD points you earn.
Can the presentation be made to groups of architects from different practises?
Yes. Especially in regional areas, we encourage practises to get together and organise a combined presentation at a mutually convenient venue.
What if I can’t meet the minimum number of attendees?
For very small groups, we have a web-based presentation. Register your interest on our website or call us for a list of current available web CPDs.
