MPE CPD Express - Afternoon Workshop

The Afternoon Workshop of the MPE CPD Express course offers two modules worth four CPD points in total.

Module 1: Interactive Case Study Workshop

This module will involve more case studies but the emphasis will be on realistic scenarios relating to problems encountered in day-to-day practice by experienced agents, such as:

• Difficult clients
• Client complaints to professional bodies
• Clients affected by changes in the law or policy
• Problematic decision-makers
• Ethical dilemmas, conflicts of interest and professional discipline

• Module 2: Experiential Workshop

  This is the brainstorming session where you will be able to raise issues of concern to you that you face in your own practice for group discussion. This can range from “true confessions” where you have made mistakes to venting some steam about what irks you about working in the migration field. The discussion will be moderated to ensure benefit not only to you but also to the group as a whole.

  Completion Requirements:

  Only registered migration agents (RMAs) with at least three years experience as an RMA are eligible to attend and earn MARA CPD points. Eligible participants must attend 90% of the time allocated to the session for which they have registered. In addition, eligible participants enrolled for the morning session only or the entire day must pass a multiple choice quiz of 20 questions in order to earn the applicable CPD points for the morning session. The quiz is held at the end of the morning session and is open book.

  NSW MCLE & VICTORIAN CPD Scheme Points:
