How to apply for NIBA College CPD Accreditation

To apply for NIBA CPD Accreditation, you must lodge your program on the NIBA CPD register. NIBA College’s new CPD Register is for members and training providers across the industry. The CPD Register will provide members and training managers with an easy way to find solutions for their education and CPD needs. The register also provides a promotional benefit for many industry groups and commercial trainers. Until now training providers have had limited opportunity to promote their programs to brokers and the broader industry even though they have successfully obtained a NIBA CPD accreditation.

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. You will need to provide each participant with:

  • An assessment or signed attendance list to verify their attendance and successfully completion of the training
  • A formal record of attendance/completion with the:
    • Name of attendee
    • Title of training
    • Date of attendance/completion
    • CPD points gained
    • NIBA College CPD rating number

This record can be in the form of a certificate or an entry onto a training database. If you would like NIBA College to allocate the attendees points the system, please contact us on cpd@nibacollege.com.au
