Can I get CPD points for delivering on a Green Star project?
Thu 20 May, 2010 (Updated: Mon 16 Jan, 2012)
Yes, both Green Star Associates and GSAPs can receive CPD points for their involvement in Green Star projects.
CPD points may be earned in the following manner:
Direct Involvement (GSAPS only)
One to five GSAPs can earn a total of 10 CPD points for each registered Green Star project they are engaged to work on as GSAPs, depending upon their comparative level of involvement (e.g. one GSAP could be awarded 10 points, or one GSAP could be awarded four points while three others could be awarded two points each).
Indirect Involvement (GSAPs and Green Star Associates)
One to five Green Star Associates or GSAPs can earn up to a maximum of two points each for other project involvement on registered Green Star projects which is separate from being the designated project GSAP, depending upon their comparative level of involvement (e.g. an architect working on design aspects of the project could be awarded two points while four others could be awarded one point each).
For full details of allocation of CPD points for Green Star project involvement, please see section 8.2, pp.7 of the CPD Policy Terms and Conditions.
