Questions builders ask
How much does CPD Centre cost for 12 CPD points?
CPD Centre advertised 12 CPD points at $162 on its own website when we checked on 16 September 2026. Prices change, so check theirs before you buy. PointCPD is $169, or $143.65 on your first order with the 15% welcome code for 12 points.
Is CPD Centre approved by NSW Fair Trading?
NSW does not approve or endorse CPD providers, so no provider can be "approved", including us. What matters is that the learning is on an approved topic, has identifiable learning outcomes and comes from a provider with industry expertise, and that you keep the evidence: CPD is self-recorded and produced if you are audited.
Can I use both CPD Centre and PointCPD in the same year?
Yes. NSW asks for 12 points a year across approved topics; it does not ask you to buy them all in one place. Keep the certificate from each provider with your records.
What if CPD Centre is cheaper than PointCPD?
Send us their advertised price before you buy, or within 3 days of buying from us, and we will beat it by 10% under our price beat guarantee.
Somehow found it cheaper?
It’s rare, but it happens. Send us a screenshot of a listed provider’s price and we’ll beat it by 10%, before you buy or up to 3 days after.
