All practicing members of ACA (Provisional through to Level 4) are required to complete 25 points of Ongoing Professional Development (OPD) per membership year. An event is defined as any one activity regardless of how many hours or days the activity goes for. Breaks for lunch etc. must not be included when defining how many hours an event runs for. Only completed events will attract OPD points. Each event can only be claimed once.
The required annual accrual of 25 points must be attained through attendance at a minimum of two different and separate events unless completing a course. 25 points cannot be accumulated through one event or activity such as only attending ACA Member Association or ACA Chapter meetings.
