Understanding CPD

What Is CPD and Why
Do You Need It?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. It's structured annual training that keeps licensed real estate professionals up to date with industry changes, compliance obligations, and best practice.

Common Questions

CPD Training — FAQs

Straight answers to the questions agents ask about CPD.

CPD (Continuing Professional Development) is structured annual training required by state licensing authorities to keep real estate professionals up to date with industry changes, legislative updates, and compliance obligations. In most states, failing to complete your required CPD can result in your licence not being renewed — meaning you can no longer legally practice real estate.
Requirements differ by state. In ACT, licensed agents must complete 12 CPD points per year. In QLD and NSW, there are mandatory annual CPD requirements for all licence holders — the exact hours and categories depend on your licence type. If you're unsure what applies to you, call us on 1800 069 273 and we'll confirm your requirements.
Yes. All Archer Institute CPD units are 100% online and self-paced. You can access them from your phone, tablet or computer — any time of day. There are no live sessions to attend and no strict deadlines within the course itself, though you'll need to complete your CPD before your state's annual deadline.
The consequences vary by state, but in most cases non-completion means your real estate licence cannot be renewed. An expired or lapsed licence means you are no longer legally authorised to conduct real estate activities. Don't leave it too close to the deadline — if you're behind, call us now on 1800 069 273 and we'll help you sort it quickly.
Yes. We work with agency principals across Australia to coordinate annual CPD for entire teams — from new assistant agents through to senior licensees. We handle bulk enrolments, track individual completion, and provide consolidated compliance reporting. Email info@archerinstitute.edu.au or call 1800 069 273 to discuss your agency's needs.
CPD deadlines are set by each state's licensing authority and are typically linked to your licence renewal date or a specific annual calendar date. The exact deadline varies by state and licence type. If you're not sure of your deadline, check with your state's licensing authority (the Queensland Office of Fair Trading for QLD, NSW Fair Trading for NSW, Access Canberra for ACT) or call us and we'll help you figure it out.
