Pointsbuild

Who are Pointsbuild?

Pointsbuild has grown from one of Australia’s first approved Continuing Professional Development (‘CPD’) training providers for the Australian building and construction industry to now being a leading provider of online CPD, education and training services for a variety of industries across Australia. Long valued for their immersive, engaging, and targeted learning content and approach to online learning, that same education and training excellence is now available to you – opening more opportunities for more people to grow their expertise and credentials. 

Is Pointsbuild an RTO?

The Office of Fair Trading does not regulate individual CPD Providers, rather requires providers to deliver courses in accordance with their guidelines, as listed on their website; https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/trades-and-businesses/licensing-and-qualifications/builders-continuing-professional-development/delivering-cpd. This confirms that the CPD Points earned from Pointsbuild will fulfil your obligations under the NSW Office Of Fair Trading requirements for licensed builders.

What are Learning Management Systems?

Our Learning Management System (LMS) is the technical backbone for administering compliance training, course development, purchase and delivery and analysis and reporting for our partners and their learning audiences.

 

It provides a single home for organisations to manage their online learning whilst giving them access to the innovation, content, and functionality in an already proven tech system.

What does sustainable continuing development look like?

Our training is kind to your people – and the planet too! The shift from paper to digital is a smart move in terms of reducing strain on our planet’s resources. Shifting training from the traditional face-to-face with multiple handouts and workbooks to the digital realm is an obvious sustainability win. As well as saving on paper, you also reduce the emissions from your people commuting to training!  

How can I manage the CPD requirements for our members or employees?

Our Course Administration Platform service (CAPS) provides managers with an effective online dashboard to manage the professional development and CPD obligations of their own learners including staff, members and other stakeholders.

 

Providing ease of administration and cost savings, the service allows for reporting, single corporate billing/invoicing, managed support and most importantly allocation of courses amongst members and employees as needed.

 

Each member is provided with their own account under the CAP system. This is used to track and manage how many courses they have completed from the courses allocated to them.

 

Members and employees receive a certificate of completion for each course that complete. This can be used as a record of completion if they are audited by the regulatory body in their industry or jurisdiction.

Course Development

How do I build engaging, flexible, and state-of-the-art learning courses?

There are two particularly quick ways to develop a library of engaging learning for your organisation, staff, or cohort. One is to acquire existing content and distribute through your current LMS platform, or look to learning design partners with expertise in the areas you are hoping to develop content.

 

Pointsbuild can help address both sides of this content coin. 

 

Our learning management system, developed and evolved over the past decade, allows for tailored service for each of our clients and partners. Host, develop, acquire or distribute content directly from an administrative dashboard allowing complete control over the content delivered to your learners.

 

With respect to the course content itself, our learning designers are experts in the industry and work directly with clients to develop and produce content specifically curated for your needs.
