NB: 10 points are required every two (2) years. Points awarded above 10 (to a maximum of 5 points) may be carried over to the next renewal period.
HOW TO RENEW YOUR CERTIFICATION
By requiring a regular re-certification process Irrigation Australia is ensuring that certified personnel remain active in the industry and are keeping their knowledge and skills up-to-date. People who demonstrate this by earning the required CPD points in the required timeframe will maintain their active status. Those failing to earn the required CPD points will be considered non-active.
There are two different, though similar, sets of CPD guidelines, one set for Certified Irrigation Designers which are assessed annually and another for all remaining certifications, assessed every two (2) years. Irrigation Australia will conduct random audits of 5% of all CPD returns each year.
- Remain active in the industry in an area related to the certification
- Require evidence for 10 points every two years
- Renewal fee $290 for members or $440 for non-members
HOW TO ADD ACTIVITIES TO YOUR CPD
To add points to your CPD in readiness for online renewal, you will need to go to MY CPD and ADD ACTIVITY via the Member Centre to your certification record. This can be done anytime throughout the renewal period.
These activities will be approved and verified by Irrigation Australia and upon reaching the minimum of 10 points over two (2) years, you will receive an email advising that you have met the criteria for renewal.
To RENEW - Log into the MEMBER centre and go to MY MEMBERSHIPS to enable online renewal. You will also receive notification via email that your membership is due to expire.
Reminders will be sent periodically both before and after your renewal date.
We would prefer for all Certifications to be managed online via our new website but if you are experiencing difficulty, please contact the IAL office on 1300 949 891 or [email protected] and we can assist with your renewal or CPD activity.
