As the amended Architectural Registration Act inches nearer to being implemented, the Institute has become aware that companies are approaching architects with range of CPD offerings that they claim will earn the architect formal points. We note that no organisation, including the APBSA and the Institute, endorses CPD presentations or can guarantee that attendees will be awarded formal points. Formal CPD points will be assessed by the Board based on the records kept by the architect and whether those records demonstrate that the architect gained knowledge relating to the stated NSCA competencies. Until the Act is implemented and the APBSA releases the SA CPD rules, the following note provides information regarding the introduction of CPD in SA. Information is also available from the APBSA. In the interim, be wary of organisations offering ‘too good to be true’ CPD, including points that can be stockpiled for use in future registration years.
Changes are being implemented for the Mentor Scheme in 2020. We look forward to announcing details soon.
