Continuing Professional Development

Everything you need to know about our CPD Accreditation Service, becoming a CPD accreditor, our CPD Policy and the periodical member audit.

CPD Accreditation Service

The FAAA offers a simple and efficient CPD Accreditation Service that provides independent evaluation and accreditation of your professional development activities. Benefits of our service include guidance to enhance your program and learning experience as well as increased engagement by financial advice professionals due to the independent verification by the FAAA of meeting the agreed standards.

Becoming a CPD accreditor

In order to become an FAAA approved CPD accreditor, members need to meet various criteria including elements of your employment, qualifications, experience and training. Reach out to a member of the team to discuss further!
