Continuing Professional Development (CPD) - Australian Security Industry Association Ltd (ASIAL)

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a commitment to ongoing learning to improve the knowledge of licensed security practitioners.
While CPD is a useful tool for any security industry professional, Victoria is currently the only State where it is a requirement for certain segments of the security industry. CPD in Victoria applies only to the manpower sector – ie. bodyguards, crowd controllers and security guards (including cash-in-transit and airport screening).
Security advisers and security equipment installers are registered, rather than licensed, and are not required to undertake CPD.

The key elements of ASIAL’s approach to CPD are:

• participants must attain 12 CPD points per year
• the CPD year is 1st July – 30th June
• there are 3 categories of CPD activity:
- professional activities
- activities with a stated development outcome
and
- formal training courses.

Participants must do a combination of at least 2 categories; items in each category are capped ie. you can only earn a certain number of points per item. You can download the full program details at the link below.
