To ensure installers keep up to date with industry changes and have the knowledge to comply with necessary standards, a requirement for renewal is for all CEC accredited installers and designers to accrue 100 points of CPD eligible training.
CPD PROGRAM
The CPD program helps to improve the overall standard of work in the solar and battery storage industry. CPD helps installers and designers to install correctly, offer customers the most up-to-date technology and installation options, and keep them informed of changes and updates to Australian standards.
CPD training is split into two categories, Core and Elective.
A minimum of 60 points must be accrued from Core training. The remaining points can be accrued from either category.
Learning Hub
The Learning Hub is home to on-demand courses developed by the Clean Energy Council. This content is designed to fit around your schedule, so you don’t have to down tools to attend training in person and keep costs at a minimum.
The Learning Hub is accessed through the Installer Portal.
Other Training Courses
There are many training options that qualify for CPD points. View the full list on our training courses page:
Can anyone earn CPD points?
CPD points are only available to fully accredited designers and installers.
I want to earn CPD points. When should I start completing my training?
When you receive your full accreditation, you commit to completing 100 CPD annually so you can start earning points straight away once you are fully accredited. Any courses you undertake before becoming fully accredited will not count towards your 100 points.
I found a course I want to complete but it isn't included on the website. What do I do?
You can request that a course be added to our list at any time. The Clean Energy Council will review the training, make a decision on whether it's appropriate for CPD, determine the number of points the course will be allocated, and add it to the website. You will need to wait until it has been added before completing the course in order for the points to count.
I work at a training organisation. How can I add my institution's courses to the list?
