Training endorsement

ACWA endorses quality training programs that met the professional development needs of our members and assists them to provide better services.

With the rapid advances and changes that occur in community services, continuing professional development (CPD) is an essential part of a community worker’s career. For this reason, our members are requested to undertake a minimum of 20 hours of CPD per year.

As members want to make sure their training money is well spent, ACWA endorses training that gives them assurance that courses and workshops are tailored to their needs, meet a professional standard, are an acceptable CPD activity, and provides value for money.

For providers, our endorsements add credibility and visibility to your training and help expand your market.
