I'm just starting on my first 3-year PD development journey. In the first category of PD catalogue “Skills Development and Knowledge”, you have to 'attend a formal training session, workshop or seminar' if you want to earn the required 30 points. I'm not sure what kinds of such sessions/workshops are available out there and how much I would need to budget for earning this 30 points? Anybody has any idea?

I just saw a 4-day training session in China which costs about A$745.00 and wonder if I should take part in the training, not that I expect it will be of any help to me, but it will kill two birds with one stone: I will be earning 40 points under category 1 and another 20 points under category 3 for "spending 4 weeks or more in a LOTE country"( I plan to spend 4 weeks + 1 day).
I'm just at the beginning of this process and would love to hear the experiences of others during their PD.
All I've done so far is to click join on the AUSIT events that are emailed to me.

I'd also love to hear other people's input on this topic. My credentials expire in May 2019 and I didn't even realise I needed to do all this PD stuff. I don't translate full time so some of the requirements are going to be really hard for me to meet. I also feel like the last time I looked at joining AUSIT I wasn't eligible! I've actually always found NAATI to be rather responsive to my enquiries so I'm sure they'll help me, but just wondering what everyone else has been... See more

I'm really getting value out of the AUSIT membership. 1/2 price for all PD events!
I've not even been a member for a year and have over the required number of points (only need some more in 'maintenance of language' category, which I'll get with a 6-week trip to source language country).
My points are as follows:
Minimum 8 points from ETHICS. Current Points: 20 Minimum 26 points from CATEGORY 1: SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND KNOWLEDGE. Current Points: 70... See more

Our QLD Branch actually held the most PD activities out of all branches over the last year, so Brisbane is a great place to be!
Each activity cost $35 and most awarded 20 points.
