Online Courses Australia (OCA) is a provider of non-accredited training, we are not a registered training organisation (RTO). OCA is endorsed by The CPD Service (CPD). CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development and is the term used to describe the learning activities professionals engage in to develop and enhance their abilities. It enables learning to become conscious and proactive, rather than passive and reactive. CPD is a form of life-long learning or training in a structured way. Completing CPD endorsed learning gives you CPD points. These points can then be used in your portfolio, resume or future career as a professional.

CPD Endorsement means all Online Courses Australia course content has been thoroughly assessed by the CPD body. Independent experts from the CPD body have assessed our learning objectives, learning materials, student policies, and procedures, for each course and approved the content. This includes the learning content and course assessments. The CPD body has endorsed our learning for continuing professional development so our students can be assured that our courses are of an extremely high standard.
Every student will receive a digital badge displaying their CPD points achieved. A digital badge is a virtual acknowledgment of a Microcredential, online course, or professional achievement. Digital badges are portable, sharable, and most importantly, verifiable. Every student receives an online portfolio where digital badges can be stored. So, you can share this with prospective employers, friends, and colleagues. You can also store all your learning and credentials in one secure place.
The completion of our courses and the accompanying digital CPD badges demonstrate you have taken steps to improve your skills and keep up to date with industry advancements. This can be beneficial in giving you an edge over other applicants during job applications. However, it is important to note that they will not take the place of required levels of specific education.
The CPD process assists your professional development on an ongoing basis. Its function is to help you record, review and reflect on your learnings. It’s not a tick-box document recording the training you have completed; it is more detailed with your progress monitored. Engaging in Continuing Professional Development ensures that both academic and practical qualifications do not become outdated or obsolete; allowing individuals to continually ‘up skill’ or ‘re-skill' themselves, regardless of occupation, age or educational level.
What will CPD do for you?
CPD can help you to reflect, review and document your learning, develop and update your professional knowledge and skills.
It is also practical for:
