HomeEarning CPDCPD Points Table

ASFA CPD Points are allocated according to a combination of the number of hours and effort involved and the learning outcomes. The table below sets out the various activities available for the membership year 2010-2011 and their relevant point allocation. These points are revised for the current membership year and relate to activities that begin on or after 1 July 2010.

In response to member feedback, from 1 July 2010 the cap on points for participation in ASFA Discussion Groups has been removed and external CPD points can be calculated at one point per hour.
