END OF CPD YEAR PAPER WORK

It’s a necessary task that doesn’t need to be a headache as well. Use the CPD record-keeping form (it’s also on the CPD page of the website) so that you have all your points-earning activities listed in the same place. Remember to keep any formal points question and answer sheets with you – in case the auditor comes calling!


WHAT’S GOOD ABOUT BEING AN ARCHITECT?

NewsLocal, which publishes 20 newspapers around Sydney and the Central Coast, wants to speak to architects about their job for the employment pages.

If you would like to talk about what your job is like, what you enjoy about it, why you chose architecture and what advice you could give to others who might want an architectural career, please email sharpless@newslocal.com.au
