NIBA recognises that there's a wealth of training available across the whole industry. In order to ensure our members benefit from quality training programs, we offer training providers the opportunity to have their programs accredited so that participants can be awarded appropriate CPD points upon completion.
CPD points may be requested by providers who are planning on providing a CPD activity that has clear learning objectives relevant to the industry.

Please note: Applications must be completed by the training provider, not by attendees. The form can be lodged on the register up to 3 months after the session date, if it is a series, the application must be made within 3 months of the first session. After this time NIBA will not consider a session for accreditation.
Once your session has been accredited, you will receive notification via email with a link to your session on the register and a CPD code.

CPD Accreditation is free for NIBA Members. For private providers if you are holding a session once and once only the fee is $125. Please note that your session will be removed from the register once it has been held.
If you are holding the session more than once you can purchase a 12-month subscription at a cost of $250. This means you can run the session as many times as you like for 12 months from the date of payment, as long as the duration and content does not change. The renewal cost after 12 months is $125.
