Welcome to MPE-Fragomen
After a very successful year providing CPD to over 500 registered agents and lawyers in 2009, Ron Kessels, Jane Goddard, Roz Germov and Peter Papadopoulos will be presenting another series of CPD Programs in 2010. The OMARA has approved our CPD activities so that we can offer an entirely new range of Course Programs that meet the varied CPD needs of the diverse migration agent and lawyer market.
In a survey conducted by the Migration Agents Registration Authority of agents who attended one of our courses in August 2008, we were given an overall rating of 4.6/ 5.0. In another MARA survey of agents who attended one of our March 2009 courses, we were given an overall rating of 4.9/5.0! For further information about what our clients think of us, please see our Clients page - http://www.mpeonline.com.au/clients.html
In 2010, MPE-Fragomen will offer:
- Informative, practical and up-to-date CPD Course Programs that focus on a wide range of subjects that are geared towards the differing CPD needs of agents and lawyers. With a particular emphasis on those problematic issues and common pitfalls that arise in professional practice, four types of CPD Course Programs will be offered:
- 10 Point Basics Workshop - specifically designed for practitioners in their first year of practice and those who might want a refresher course or seek to branch out into a new area of migration practice, this CPD Program will be run over 2 business days. This highly practical course will provide participants with a good coverage of all the major commercial aspects of migration law and practice as well as giving them practical tips and business development strategies. 10 Core OMARA CPD points will be earnt by those agents who complete this 2 day Course Program. The four mandatory activities (Accounts Management, Business Management, File Management and Ethics and Professional Practice) are all included in this Course Program. The class size will be limited so as to guarantee each participant a great learning experience and quality interaction with their colleagues and the presenters. The $850 fee (discounted to $750 for agents in their first year of practice or those who have previously attended one of our courses) includes useful course materials and quality lunch and refreshments on both days.
- 10 Point Economic Intensive Workshop - this specialist course provides practitioners with an in-depth and up-to-date coverage of issues relating to visas in the economic classes. Focussing on visas that enable people to work, study or undertake business in Australia, this 2 day Course Program is worth 10 Core OMARA CPD points including one mandatory activity (Ethics and Professional Practice). The class size will be limited so as to guarantee each participant a great learning experience and quality interaction with their colleagues and the presenters. The cost for this 2 day program is $900 (discounted to $800 for agents in their first year of practice or those who have previously attended one of our courses). Alternatively, agents (such as certain practising lawyers and accountants) may register either for the first day for $750 (worth 6 Core OMARA CPD points, including one mandatory activity) or the second day for $300 (worth 4 Core OMARA CPD points). Practical course materials and quality lunch and refreshments will be provided on both days.
- 10 Point Experienced Workshop - this is our most advanced CPD Program and is specifically suited for migration lawyers or migration agents with at least 3 years experience. This premium CPD Program will offer practitioners a rare chance to examine the more challenging aspects of migration law and practice in a collegiate environment, focussing primarily upon recent judicial, legislative and policy developments. Agents will earn 10 Core OMARA CPD Points in 2 business days for only $900 (discounted to $800 for those who have previously attended one of our courses).
