CPD Scheme Review - effective 1 April 2015

The ACBPS, in conjunction with key industry stakeholders, has conducted a review of the CPD Scheme they introduced in 2012. This review, in which the CBFCA was significantly involved in representing the interests of industry, was designed to recognise and suggest any changes to the Scheme as part of a continuous improvement process after the first full year of operation. You can click HERE to see the ACN relating to the review and its outcomes. 

In a nutshell, the review recommended a switch from three Streams to two. These two new Streams will be:

• Stream A - this will provide CPD against what could be described as the core aspects of the role of a licensed customs broker including valuation, classification , origin, etc. You can attain ALL of your 30 annual CPD points through this Stream

• Stream B - this Stream provides for those non-core aspects of your role in which you engage with clients on areas of supply chain management, or where you might look to undertake some kind of personal development training relating to your role. You can attain UP TO 12 of your 30 annual CPD points through this Stream
