Education Review Programs

 

SPAA encourages SMSF educators to become a SPAA Registered Education Provider. This provides them with the opportunity to submit their course/activity for review by an independent assessor in order to gain SPAA's endorsement. This endorsement gives educators the opportunity to provide training aligned with the widely recognised and sought-after SPAA brand.

SPAA currently offers two review programs:

Passive Education Review:

This style of review is suited to short activities such as single events and conference presentations that generally use passive learning.

Accreditation awarded in this program is valid for 12 months with an optional 12 month renewal.

Active Education Review:

This style of review is suited to longer courses such as workshops, seminars, online courses and training days, where the focus is on improving knowledge and reinforcing the skills being taught through case studies, discussion groups, role play, interactive activities or an assessment.

Content in the active education review undergoes a more intensive assessment, evaluated against the quality of educational outcome, assessment, education experience, and industry standards.

Accreditation awarded in this review process is valid for two years with an optional two-year renewal.

Any course submitted into the SPAA Education Review Programs will be awarded CPD points.
