What Does CPD Accredited Mean?

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development.

Where a TGBA course is described as CPD accredited, the course has undergone an independent accreditation process for continuing professional development and industry education purposes.

CPD accreditation is different from Australia’s nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training system.

TGBA courses are not nationally recognised VET qualifications under the Australian Qualifications Framework unless expressly stated otherwise.

We make this distinction so students can make an informed decision about the type of education they are purchasing.

Assessment & Course Certification

Learning should involve more than simply reading course material.

TGBA courses include assessment requirements designed to evaluate your understanding of the subject matter.

Upon successful completion of the applicable course requirements, you will receive a TGBA course completion certificate.

For CPD-accredited courses, the applicable CPD credits are displayed on the individual course page.

You can then continue developing your knowledge in the treatment areas that interest you.

Before Providing a Treatment Commercially

Completing a course is one part of professional practice.

Training requirements and the ability to provide particular treatments can depend on the treatment, your location, the equipment being used and your individual circumstances.

Before introducing a treatment commercially, you should check any applicable:

• state or territory requirements
• local council or premises requirements
• public-health requirements
• infection-control requirements
• equipment requirements
• professional or treatment liability insurance requirements
• manufacturer requirements
• treatment-specific requirements

Insurance requirements also vary between insurers.

If you intend to use a TGBA course as evidence of training for insurance purposes, confirm acceptance directly with your insurer or insurance broker.
