Certifying gasfitter practising licence and two of the following— 24 CPD points, of which—
- certifying drainlayer practising licence - at least 18 points must be from board-accredited CPD courses; and
- licensed drainlayer practising licence
- certifying plumber practising licence - up to 6 points may be acquired through self-directed learning
- licensed plumber practising licence
(2) A “board-accredited CPD course” means any learning programme accredited by the board before the certifying gasfitter enrols in it. In exceptional circumstances, and at the discretion of the Registrar, the board may accept CPD points as being for board-accredited courses where the course was not accredited before the certifying gasfitter enrolled in it but where the board subsequently accredited it.
(2A) One hour of self-directed learning has the value of one (1) CPD point. The following are examples of activities that an applicant could claim as CPD points for self-directed learning:
(a) attending seminars;
(b) attending conferences;
(c) reviewing published material;
(d) presenting at conferences;
(e) writing articles.
(2B) All CPD points must be relevant to at least one (1) of the competencies prescribed for the trade or trades to which an application relates. “Competencies” means the competencies in the areas identified in:
(a) paragraphs 2(7) and 7(2) of the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (Drainlaying Registration and Licensing) Notice 2010;
(b) paragraphs 2(2) and 7(2) of the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (Plumbing Registration and Licensing) Notice 2010;
(c) paragraphs 2(2) and 7(2) of this notice.
(2C) Where an applicant is seeking to be licensed in more than one (1) trade, they must ensure that they have obtained some CPD points relevant to the competencies for each of those trades, and that those CPD points are from board-accredited CPD programmes.
(2D) CPD that does not relate to the competencies is not eligible to be counted as CPD points.
(3) If, in any licensing period, a certifying gasfitter obtains more than the required number of CPD points from board-accredited CPD courses, those additional points may be counted towards the CPD points for the next licensing period, but may not be counted towards the CPD points required for any subsequent licensing period.
