Green Star CPD Points

The GBCA offers a range of courses and events that allow CPD program participants to earn the CPD points required to maintain their qualification/s.

All Green Star qualifications have a minimum annual CPD point requirement as indicated in the table below. These points can be earned through a range of GBCA and non-GBCA activities.

For Green Star Accredited Professional (GSAP) qualifications, a certain number of points within this total must be earned through activities that directly relate to their chosen qualification stream (Eg. Design & As Built or Communities). These points are known as ‘Stream Relevant CPD points’ and can be gained by attending stream-specific (Design & As Built or Communities) courses or events.

As the Green Star Associate (GSA) qualification is non-stream specialised accreditation, GSA’s can earn their ‘stream relevant CPD points' from GBCA coursework across any stream (Design & As Built or Communities).

The remainder of the CPD points required are known as 'Sustainable Development CPD Points' and can be earned through a range of GBCA and non-GBCA professional development activities.

The number of CPD points available for completing a course or attending an event is noted within the individual course or event listing on the GBCA website and is indicated by a star symbol on courses or events within the GBCA’s Courses and Events Calendar.
