NSW FAIR TRADING REQUIREMENTS

S

Is CPD Compulsory for NSW Builders?

Yes. Under the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW), all licensed builders and swimming pool builders must complete CPD every year as a condition of licence renewal.

The requirement is 12 CPD points per year. Builders on a 3-year licence must complete 36 points over the full period. Failure to comply can result in your licence being suspended or cancelled by NSW Fair Trading.

Builders CPD Online provides all the accredited courses you need to meet this requirement — entirely online, at a fraction of the cost of classroom training.
