Q and A’s

What if I gain more credits than required?Credits cannot be carried over into the next cycle.

If I simply do a session with a BASI Trainer does that qualify for credits?Only if the Trainer seeks authorisation as laid out in the policy document in writing (email) beforehand to the Training Manager at BASI with the content of the session agreed and verified. Home study may also be required in this case.

When does the date of my renewal come up?For Level 1 & 2 - renewal is 3 years after the date of your last qualifying date or/and the renewal date on your BASI members’ area and on your licence card.For Level 3 ISIA & Level 4 ISTD – 3 credits must be achieved within a 3-year period either 1 day a year or 3 consecutive days every 3 years.

If the date of my external course is outwith the start of my CPD time does it qualify?No. It must be dated after the start of your 3 year period and not before.

If I gain all my credits in 1 year does this count?Yes.

*The admin fee of £20 will be waived for UK Home Nations External Credit applications.
