Frequently Asked Questions

CPD Points

How do I earn CPD points?

To earn a CPD point:

  1. Watch the full hour.
  2. Click ‘Complete’ to access the questionnaire.
  3. Download and complete the Q&A sheet (you do not need to return it).
  4. Your certificate will appear under ‘Certificates’ in your profile.

You must watch the full session to be eligible to claim the CPD point. Your watched time is automatically logged and CPD Certificates made available only when the timestamp shows the full session was watched.

CPD Live is self-assessed. You are required to review the questions and answer sheet and we recommend keeping a copy of them handy in case of an audit.

I got disconnected from the Live CPD presentation; will I still earn my 1 CPD Point?

If you are in a Live presentation and are interrupted or disconnected from the session, you may rejoin at anytime from the same username/login and your time will accumulate. For Live presentations, you must watch no less than 45 minutes to be eligible for the CPD Point and our website will track your attendance with timestamps.

If it is not possible to rejoin the Live presentation, you can rewatch the session when it becomes available on-demand and earn the CPD Point.

Can I get CPD points for on-demand sessions?

Yes — if you haven’t watched the live version and view at least 45 minutes, you will earn 1 CPD point.

Where do I submit my Q&A sheets?

CPD Live is self-assessed. You are required to review the questions and answer sheets and we recommend keeping a copy of them handy in case of an audit.

How many CPD points can I earn?

Each eligible live or on-demand session gives you 1 CPD point. You may watch as many CPD sessions as you wish.

Will I get a CPD point again for rewatching a course?

No. You only earn 1 CPD Point per course — whether live or on-demand.

Where will my CPD Certificate be sent to?

Your certificate will be available in your CPD Live online account under the ‘Certificates’ tab. You may download and print as required.

I have not received my CPD certificate. What should I do?

Session Access & Content

Are the presentations live or recorded?

CPD Live offers interactive live courses (around June & October every year), which are then recorded for on-demand access.

Can I rewatch the courses?

Yes. All live sessions are made available on-demand. After 12 months, the session is removed from the website.

Do I have to sign up for each individual live course to get access?

Yes. After creating an account, you must register for each live session. On-demand sessions are available after login.

Can I join at any time during the live course?

No. You must join within the first 15 minutes to earn a CPD point. After that, access is locked for CPD purposes.

Are all courses on the website CPD-accredited?

Yes. All courses available to watch are accredited and will earn you 1 point per session.
