28 Completion of CPD requirements

(1) Subject to this Part, for the purposes of regulation 27(a), a practising architect must complete 20 CPD points in a CPD cycle.

(2) The required number of CPD points to be completed by a person who is only a practising architect for part of a CPD cycle is to be calculated on a pro rata basis.

Example

If an architect is registered to practise for 3 months in a CPD cycle, the architect must complete 25 per cent of the points required for a full year's registration, which is 5 hours of CPD activities.

(3) At least half of the CPD points a practising architect is required to complete under this regulation must be completed through formal learning activities.

(4) For the purposes of this regulation, each CPD activity completed by a practising architect must be across at least 2 performance criteria.

(5) For the purposes of this regulation, one point is earned for each hour of participation in an activity, up to the maximum number of points (if any) specified by the Board for that activity in a determination under regulation 32(1)(c).
