A Certified Practising Conveyancer (CPC) is a sign of excellence, professionalism and helps identify conveyancers who have invested in themselves to develop their knowledge of the profession.
You can identify if a conveyancer has completed CPC by looking for the post-nominal CPC after their name or our Certified Pracitising Conveyancer logo. We also provide qualified conveyancers a certificate annually for them to display to their clients.
In 2014 the AICNT commenced a professional development program known as the CPC Program.
This is a quality standard designed to give consumers the ability to identify those licensed conveyancers providing a higher standard of service and employing quality conveyancing practices.
What is the CPC accreditation?
CPC is a sign of excellence and professionalism and helps identify conveyancers who have met certain criteria.
A CPC is then required to keep abreast of changes to legislation and conveyancing procedures by obtaining CPC points through attendance at seminars and other activities conducted by the AICNT and other training providers as defined in the CPC Guidelines.
CPC accreditation provides an approved AICNT member with a level of credibility with other conveyancers, legal practitioners, lenders, brokers, insurers and consumers based upon that member’s integrity,adherence to good practice management standards, prudent and efficient conveyancing procedures through the CPC program protocol, increased standard of service, and levels of knowledge and experience.
