QLD CPD Year Calculator
Your Queensland CPD year runs for 12 months from the anniversary of your licence or registration issue date. Enter that date to see your current CPD year, or when your first one starts, the day it closes and how long you have left.
How this works. The calculator starts your first CPD year the way the Queensland Office of Fair Trading's own calculator does: on the first anniversary of your issue date for a licence first issued in 2025 or later, and on an anniversary in 2025 or 2026 for a licence issued before 2025. It then counts 12 months from each anniversary after that. It is a planning guide only. Exemptions, conditions and renewal dates are set by the Queensland Office of Fair Trading, so confirm your position with the OFT before you rely on it.
Prefer to work it out by hand? Read our guide to working out your QLD CPD year, or see the Queensland Government CPD page for the current requirement.

QLD CPD year calculator FAQs
Which date do I enter?+–
The issue date printed on your current Queensland licence or registration. If you hold more than one, the OFT says to use the earliest issue date, and if you upgrade or change your licence or registration, your CPD year aligns with the new issue date. If you are unsure which date applies, ask the Queensland Office of Fair Trading.
What if my licence was first issued less than a year ago?+–
The OFT says you only need to start CPD 12 months after your current licence or registration was first issued, and CPD completed before your first CPD year starts does not count. The calculator shows the date your first CPD year begins. Check your exact position with the Queensland Office of Fair Trading before you enrol in CPD.
I have held my licence for years. When did my CPD year start?+–
For a licence or registration issued before 2025, the OFT's own CPD calculator starts the first CPD year on an anniversary of the issue date in 2025 or 2026, and this calculator does the same. From then on, each CPD year runs for 12 months from the anniversary.
Is this the official OFT calculation?+–
No. It is a planning guide from Archer Institute that starts your first CPD year the way the OFT's own calculator does, then counts 12 months from each anniversary of your issue date. The Queensland Office of Fair Trading sets the official requirement, any exemptions and your renewal dates, so confirm your position with the OFT before you rely on it.
How many CPD sessions do I need in my CPD year?+–
Two. Queensland lets you complete two Type 1 sessions, or one Type 1 and one Type 2. Archer delivers two OFT-approved Type 1 sessions, Market Property and Trust Accounts, $100 each. Complete both inside your window and your two required CPD sessions for the year are done.
