Accreditation
Yes, if you have obtained registration through your state in the field of Building Surveying at the appropriate level or if you have had an RTO assess your qualification for equivalence to one of the currently accredited courses. You will also need to satisfy the experience requirements for the level you are applying for, which are detailed in the
Guidelines to Demonstrate Experience.
You will need to complete a new application for accreditation. Regardless of your previous accreditation status, you will have to demonstrate that you meet the current education and experience requirements.
Submit your re-accreditation application before your accreditation expires (additional fees will apply if it is not received before your expiry date).
If you have already submitted your CPD return(s) to the AIBS office, you are not required to do anything further as the completed CPD letter(s) will automatically be forwarded to the accreditation coordinator upon completion.
If you are still concerned for any reason, you are able to contact the CPD Administrator at
[email protected].
No. As long as your application is received before the expiry date, your accreditation continues until the application is determined.
You should submit your application for re-accreditation as soon as possible with a written request for your accreditation to be extended whilst a decision is made on your application (this should be addressed to the AIBS Board). You will be required to pay an additional administration fee.
CPD
When unsure on the validity of a CPD activity, it is always recommended to
contact the CPD Administrator by email or by phone for verification.
