This document specifies that attending **seminars, workshops, conferences, or lectures** can earn them CPD points, provided the activities are listed in the attached schedule.\n\n**What it does:**\n- Replaces an earlier notice from 2004 (MN49-04)\n- Approves specific educational events, giving each a point value and labeling it as either \"core\" (compulsory) or \"elective\" (optional)\n- Takes effect from 1 April 1998 (even though written in 2005)\n\n**Why it matters:** If you're a migration agent, this tells you which conferences and training sessions actually count toward your mandatory annual points. Without this approval, attending an event might not help you meet your registration requirements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2005l00115","history":"/api/acts/f2005l00115/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2005l00115/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2005l00115/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2005l00115/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2005l00115/documents"}}
