It scraps an earlier notice from April 2005 and sets out which seminars, workshops, conferences and lectures count toward the ongoing training requirements that agents must complete each year.\n\n**How it works:**\n- The notice attaches a schedule listing specific approved events\n- Each event is assigned a point value and labelled as either **'core'** (essential training) or **'elective'** (optional) activities  \n- Migration agents earn these points by attending the listed events\n\n**Who it affects:**\nRegistered migration agents who need to meet their Continuing Professional Development (CPD) obligations to keep their licence.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nIt tells agents exactly which educational events will count toward their mandatory training hours, ensuring they stay up-to-date with migration law and practice.\n\n**Note:** Despite being issued in May 2005, this notice technically takes effect from 1 April 1998."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2005l01145","history":"/api/acts/f2005l01145/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2005l01145/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2005l01145/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2005l01145/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2005l01145/documents"}}
