BrainCog makes it easy for property agents and managers in to maintain their required CPD points by completing online exams and assessments created by their employers or registered training organisations (RTO).
From 1 January 2008, CPD activities earn you either 1, 2 or 3 points per hour. You must undertake activities related to at least one of 15 Continuing Professional Development topics to make up 12 points per year. However, if you have already earned CPD points under the current system toward your 2008 renewal, these points can be used to satisfy your 2008 renewal requirements.
Lunch and travel time do not count towards points.
Up to 11 surplus CPD points earned in a year can be carried forward for 12 months. Some CPD must be done each year.
