FAQs - CPD
Are Alpha AML Training’s courses accredited for CPD for lawyers?
Each year, lawyers in Australia are required to complete a minimum of 10 hours of continuing professional development (CPD). CPD activities are typically classified under the core competency areas:
- Ethics and Professional Responsibility
- Practice Management and Business Skills
- Professional Skills
- Substantive Law
The CPD scheme is self-assessed: lawyers self-assess and self-report their CPD, and must maintain records of completed activities.
An activity generally qualifies as eligible CPD where it has significant intellectual or practical content, relates to the practice of law, and extends the lawyer’s knowledge or skills in areas relevant to their practice or professional development.
In most Australian states and territories, interactive online modules are recognised as eligible CPD activities – described, depending on the jurisdiction’s rules, as an ‘interactive web-based program’, a ‘multimedia or web-based program’, or an ‘interactive electronic activity’1.
1 Note for Western Australia: the Legal Practice Board requires CPD providers to be accredited and integrated with its CPD Management System (CPDMS). Alpha AML Training is not currently a WA-accredited provider, so WA practitioners should confirm eligibility with the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia (LPBWA) before claiming.
What makes Alpha AML Training courses interactive?
Alpha AML’s courses are structured, interactive online modules. Each module includes multimedia components requiring learner interaction and a structured quiz assessment. All learners receive a certificate of completion showing the module name, the learner’s details and the completion date.
How many CPD points or units is each module worth?
Most state and territory rules count one hour of eligible CPD activity = 1 CPD point or unit.
Based on the estimated completion times of our modules, each Alpha AML Training module works out to approximately 0.5 CPD units, as a guide. The final figure depends on a learner’s actual time on the module and the relevant state or territory rules.
