Certificates of CPD-time earned through GoLearning are issued annually by ASAQS.

You do not require the certificate when completing your submission - only when the SACQSP decides to audit your submission will you be asked for proof.

The GoLearning system retains a database of all your activities and we are able to verify when you sat a test and what the results of that test was.

You generally require a pass mark of 60% or higher to be credited with the CPD-hours earned by doing one of our courses.
