Where Can I Do My CPD Points Course in Melbourne?
Register Now
Melbourne and Victorian builders who hold a NSW contractor licence must complete 12 CPD points every year to renew their licence — just like any Sydney-based builder. The fastest and most practical option is to complete all 12 points online through Builders CPD Online (RTO 91528), covering all 8 Fair Trading learning areas without leaving Melbourne. The entire course takes 4–6 weeks at your own pace, costs from $169 for 12 points, and you download your certificate the same day you finish your last module. No classroom, no travel to Sydney, no fixed schedule.
Who Needs This?
Any Victorian builder holding a NSW contractor licence is bound by Fair Trading’s 12-point annual CPD requirement. This applies to residential builders, renovators, and swimming pool/spa builders who work under an NSW licence.
If you’re based in Melbourne but hold a NSW contractor licence — whether through interstate projects or cross-border work — you must meet the same CPD standards as builders based in Sydney. Fair Trading does not distinguish by location.
What’s Included?
Builders CPD Online (RTO 91528) delivers all 8 mandatory Fair Trading learning areas through a single online enrolment:
- Technical skills and knowledge
- WHS and site safety
- Legal and regulatory compliance
- Customer service and dispute resolution
- Business management (project estimating, cashflow, contracts)
- Sustainability and environmental compliance
- Digital literacy and modern tools
- Risk management and project control
You choose from 40+ courses and complete them at your own pace — no fixed classroom times, no commute, no waiting for a course to start.
How Much Does It Cost?
Builders CPD Online is transparent and affordable:
- $169 for 12 CPD points (your annual requirement)
- $449 for 36 points (3 years’ worth — often chosen by builders planning ahead)
No hidden fees, no classroom surcharges, no travel costs. You pay once and access all courses immediately.
How It Works — Step by Step
1. Register online
Visit /registration/ and enrol in either the 12-point or 36-point package. You’ll receive instant login credentials.
2. Log in and choose your courses
Browse 40+ courses across all 8 learning areas. Read the course description and learning outcomes. No restrictions — choose any combination that adds up to your required points.
3. Complete at your pace
Courses are fully online and self-paced. Watch video modules, read fact sheets, download resources. Work on your phone, tablet, or computer. Take it in one week or spread it across your full enrolment period.
4. Take the final assessment
Each course ends with a short online quiz to confirm understanding. Pass and you earn the CPD points.
5. Download your certificate

6. Submit to Fair Trading (if renewing)
Keep your certificate. If you’re renewing your licence, Fair Trading will ask to see proof of CPD — your certificate is the proof.

How long does it actually take?
Most builders complete 12 points in 4–6 weeks, studying 3–5 hours per week. If you’re busier, you can stretch it to 8–10 weeks. You set your own pace — as long as you finish within your enrolment period, Fair Trading has no issue.
Can I really do this on my phone?
Yes. Every course is optimised for mobile — video, text, and quizzes all work on a phone or tablet. Many builders watch modules during lunch or between site visits.
What happens after I finish?
Your certificate is ready to download immediately. Keep it in your records. If you’re renewing your licence, upload or email the certificate as proof of CPD completion. That’s it.
Can I do this if I’m in Melbourne and my licence is in NSW?
Yes — that’s the entire point of online CPD. Your location doesn’t matter. Fair Trading only cares that you’ve completed 12 points through an approved RTO (like us) before your renewal date.
What if I already have some CPD points from other courses?
Fair Trading will ask for a transcript showing all CPD you’ve completed. If you have points from another RTO, bring those records too. You only need to reach 12 total points from approved RTOs in the 12 months before your renewal.
Is there a deadline to finish?
You must complete 12 points in the 12 months before your licence renewal date. If your renewal is coming up, start now — you have time, but don’t leave it to the last week.
What if I mess up a quiz?
You can retake most quizzes. If you don’t pass on the first go, you’ll get feedback on what to review and can try again.
Do I need to be in Sydney for anything?
No. Builders CPD Online is entirely online. There are no in-person sessions, workshops, or exams. You never need to travel to NSW.
