Master Plumbers

CPD returns to the NZ Plumbing Conference 2026, and it's the first chance in the country to walk through how self-certification will actually work in practice.

You'll come away knowing what you can sign off, what you're responsible for, and what you need to do to stay compliant — well ahead of the wider CPD rollout later in the year and ahead of self-certification itself, which is expected to start around the end of August 2026.

This means you'll know how it works before you have to, and you'll be having confident conversations with your customers while others are still catching up.

Conference kicks off from the 24–26 June 2026 in Kirikiriroa Hamilton — don't leave it to the last minute to lock in your place! https://plumbingconference.org.nz/registration/
