PD MAX is on again for 2027!

What is PD MAX?

It's a ticket for professional development sessions. It's not a subscription, it's not a membership; it's an annual pass to professional development sessions by Skills Education.

If you had PD MAX in 2025 and/or 2026, you'll need a separate ticket for 2027. The payment for previous tickets is not a subscription so it will not automatically renew like a membership does.

With one PD MAX ticket you get automatic enrolment in every live public webinar* for 2027, and access to the on‑demand recordings for those sessions until 31.12.27. PLUS, for each PD you complete, you can trigger your Record of Participation certificate.  

A PD MAX ticket is a fraction of the cost for all of our upcoming sessions and represents exceptional value to see a range of PD from a number of different presenters.

  • 🚀 Automatic enrolment in all upcoming live webinars

  • ⏰ Live participation or on‑demand viewing - your choice

  • 📜 Certificates to meet compliance obligations

  • 🌐 Diverse expert presenters & topics

Purchase a single ticket for yourself - or enough for the whole team; simply adjust the quantity at the checkout to purchase the number of tickets required.

PD MAX is an effective option for RTOs that need to provide relevant, new Standards-aligned professional development for staff.

Importantly, this is not where you pay for a subscription or membership and then pay a discounted rate for sessions you want to attend. 

Instead, this is a ticket that, with one payment, gives enrolment to all upcoming public webinars. 

(*NB members' sessions and learning programs are not public webinars).

What people say about PD MAX

  • "I've got to say that I feel my PD MAX subscription has earned its value in two sessions!"
  • "Thanks team, love this new initiative. With things getting tough, it's great to know I've got a manageable budget for my mandatory PD ~ thanks Skills Education for thinking of us too"
  • "This is fabulous - Really! I couldn't believe how much I get. It's saving me so much. All RTOs need to know about PD MAX!!"
  • "So simple. One ticket and I get access to everything that's coming up. And if I miss a session, I know I've got time to go back and see the recording. Love it, thank you"

How does PD MAX work?

Easy! Buy the PD MAX bundle and for the ticket year you'll automatically be enrolled in every public webinar listed on the 'Upcoming Live Events' page. When more webinars are added between now and the end of 2027, we'll add those to PD MAX.

Every PD MAX registrant gets the month's Zoom links sent to them automatically at the start of the month. You have the choice to drop in live, or catch up at your convenience with the recording. So you get the best of both worlds:

  • Live learning with expert presenters and real-time Q&A, where you can watch and participate
  • On-demand viewing that suits your schedule


Strengthen your personal and professional development with PD MAX.

How much is a PD MAX ticket?

One ticket gives access for one person. One ticket is only $325 per person at the Early Bird rate. When the Early Bird ends, it will be $425 per person.

Honour Code

One PD MAX ticket per person - PD MAX is offered on an individual basis - meaning one ticket is required per person. 

You agree to not share your login or let others "watch along" via your registration - this includes watching along in the live webinars or accessing the recordings. We can only offer this revolutionary PD model if everyone abides by the Honour Code.

Person/s breaching the PD MAX Honour Code will have their registration cancelled with all benefits forfeited. No refunds will be issued.
