Speak Out draft text june 2016

Professional Development

time of day that suits your schedule.

If I register for the recording, how long do I have before the link expires? Viewing is available to you for 12 months after the online live event date with up to two views to complete it. Can we register as a workplace instead of individually? Registrations for all CPD events, including CPDLive events, are for the individual. This is consistent with individual registrations for SPA events, including Branch workshops, Branch PA events, Private Practice seminars, and the Conference. This is necessary for the purposes of PSR auditing as event registrations are recorded against the individual on the SPA database. Also certificates of attendance issued for each event are generated from the individual’s registration. Additionally, registration fees vary for SPA members versus non-members (with non-members paying double). A Group registration option would not allow for this member benefit to be exclusive to current SPA members. Once I register, how long does it take to get confirmation? The confirmation emails should come through within 30 minutes or so after registering. Emails are sent out, on the hour, a quarter past, half past and a quarter to. Will I receive a certificate for this PD? Yes, once your viewing record shows you have watched 80% or more of the recording. If more than 20% has been fast forwarded through, this will not trigger a certificate to be sent. If I am not sure how to register, who should I contact? If I register and misplace the email with the link, what can I do? Please call National Office on 1300 368 835 and ask for Rebecca David who will be happy to assist with any questions in relation to the process of registering for the live or recording event. Discounted group registrations would also be inequitable for SPA members working in solo and/or remote positions.

Support is also available throughout the live event from the CPDLive technical host.

If you have suggestions for future topics and/or speakers, we’d love to hear from you. Email scrane@speechpathologyaustralia. org.au Sharon Crane Senior Advisor Professional Education and Certification
