What Are CPD Points?
CPD stands for Continuous Professional Development. The Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority (PPRA) has prescribed the minimum amount of CPD Points that a Property Practitioner must earn on an annual basis, in order to continue to further their Real Estate education, as well as to stay up to date on industry changes, laws, updates and amendments.
CPD is a compulsory, ongoing requirement for registered Property Practitioners under the Property Practitioners Act, 22 of 2019. Compliance with the prescribed education standards is linked to the issue of your Fidelity Fund Certificate.
Every registered property practitioner must complete four unique CPD modules per calendar year. Modules remain valid for three years and may not be repeated within the same cycle, so a full cycle requires twelve different modules. Practitioners plan their CPD through a Personal Development Plan on the PPRA portal.
Verifiable CPD is completed either through the PPRA’s own programme, or through a service provider accredited by the PPRA for that purpose.

BrainTrust Short Courses
BrainTrust runs a catalogue of more than sixty short courses for property practitioners, delivered online and face-to-face, with multiple sessions every month. They cover legislation and compliance, contracts, valuations, rentals and letting, sectional title, commercial and industrial broking, agency management and professional practice.
These short courses are not currently accredited by the PPRA as CPD. They are professional development in their own right, and practitioners complete them alongside their PPRA CPD requirements.
