It assigns each seminar 1–5 CPD points, classifies activities as Core or Elective, and designates Mandatory topics (notably ethics, file/accounts and business management).\n\nIt matters because it fixes which courses count toward agents’ annual CPD and how many points they earn."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":5,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This instrument is an administrative update: it revokes the earlier MARA notice and restates the list of approved CPD seminars (providers, status, points, mandatory flags) under the existing regulatory framework (clause 3, Schedule 1; clause 7A).

For each listed seminar it records the provider, whether it is core or elective, the CPD point value, and which items are mandatory under clause 7A.
