Almost all courses that we provide are accredited to award you with CERPs upon successful completion of the course.

You are encouraged to be selective about how you earn your CERPs. Your aim should be to choose courses that extend your current knowledge. For example if you work in one area a lot, then brushing up in areas you don't work will keep you current (eg work in the community: do Preterm Baby or First Week courses for CERPs).

Then there's the Advanced Practice series that we've just commenced, and the Experts-in-Lactation Lectures to listen to. They'll extend your knowledge and skills. And of course don't miss the GOLD conference each year!

We've also created a CERPs calculator - a handy tool that will help you find the quickest or most cost effective ways to earn your CERPs.
