The Australasian College of Pharmacy’s transition to the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia has a practical consequence for learners: GuildEd CPD credits, transcripts and learning plans will not transfer into PSA systems. Members and subscribers need to preserve their existing records themselves.
The acquisition settled on 19 December 2025. The current news is the platform transition, not a newly agreed deal. The College’s transition page, updated 1 October 2026, says record access will remain available until 31 March 2027, when GuildEd shuts down.
Separate the learning deadline from the record deadline
General GuildEd enrolment and course completion ended on 30 September 2026. A limited set of contractual or sponsored courses, including specified pharmacy-assistant and APP2026 content, remains available until 31 March 2027. Check the current notice and your course instructions for an exception; continuing access to an old transcript does not reopen every course.
Make two notes in your calendar: the official record-access deadline and an earlier date to complete your own export review. The earlier date is your organisational choice. It leaves time to resolve an account problem, locate a missing certificate or ask the College for assistance while the service remains available.
Build an inventory before downloading everything
Start with the CPD periods and courses relevant to your records. List which transcripts, learning plans and individual certificates you expect to find. Include a separate line for any unfinished activity so that it does not become confused with completed learning when you review the archive later.
The Pharmacy Board’s CPD record guidance explains that records may be held by you, a provider or both, and should be clear, verifiable and retrievable. Use the applicable requirements to decide what evidence you need; a platform change does not determine the educational or credit status of an activity.
For each expected item, record whether you have located it, saved it and opened the saved copy. Those are three separate checks. A download button can work while producing a file for the wrong CPD period, and a file name alone may not reveal that problem months later.
Export the different records separately
The College’s download instructions describe separate routes for CPD summaries, learning plans and individual course certificates. Follow the current steps in your account and save each type of evidence you need. Do not assume that downloading a summary has also preserved every supporting document.
For your own archive, group the files by CPD period and retain recognisable provider and course names. If you rename a file, keep enough detail to connect it with the activity shown in the transcript. Preserve the original downloaded documents rather than editing their stated completion dates or credit information.
Open a sample from each group of files. Check that it shows the expected learner, activity and date, and that the document is readable. If an entry appears incomplete, note the discrepancy and contact the provider. Keep the reply with the record when it clarifies an issue.
Then compare the inventory with the exported folder. Mark unresolved items explicitly. This turns the remaining work into a short list: obtain a certificate, verify a date or clarify the status of a particular activity. It is easier to resolve that list than to repeat the entire export without knowing what is missing.
Keep completed activity distinct from future intentions
A learning plan can contain work you intended to do as well as activity you finished. Preserve that distinction during the move. For a completed item, retain the supporting evidence and your account of the learning. For an unfinished item, decide whether the need remains relevant and which current resource could address it.
For example, a fictional pharmacist may have completed a webinar but left a planned follow-up discussion unfinished. The webinar record belongs in the archive. The discussion belongs on the current action list, with a clear description of what still needs to happen. Copying the entire plan into a new system without reviewing it could blur those two statuses.
You may also find a completed course that generated a new question. Keep the historical completion record intact and open a new learning task for the question. The task might involve a source review, a case discussion or clarification of a local process. A new task does not require changing what the old certificate says.
Check the replacement course against your actual need
The College’s consolidation schedule maps significant course changes and replacement options. It shows that consolidation can involve retirement, a successor course or a reworked offering. Use the current course information rather than assuming that a similar title means identical content, assessment or access.
Choose the next activity from the outstanding learning need. If you require a specific recognised training programme, verify that programme and its eligibility conditions. If your aim is to understand a clinical distinction, identify a question or teaching discussion that exposes the uncertainty. Keep any service authorisation requirement separate from general CPD planning.
Before paying for another subscription, check what you already retain and what you can access through current membership. A preserved learning plan can show which part of the work remains unfinished. Use that information to select a resource you intend to complete, with a review point already in mind.
Choose future record tools with an exit in mind
When evaluating another learning platform, inspect record access as well as the course catalogue. Check the export format, the information included and the route for retrieving an old activity. If the platform changes or a membership ends, you should know what the published arrangements say about the evidence you have already completed.
iatroX CPD supports question-based learning, reviewed reflection and PDF export. Its current product page states that completed professional evidence remains available to view and export after a subscription ends; starting new supported learning requires active access. This is a product-access policy, not a guarantee of Australian pharmacy CPD credit.
Where a supported clinical library addresses your learning need, a focused question session and Tutor review can help explore it. Select the available content deliberately. An Australian professional profile does not imply that every profession has a dedicated Australian bank or that an exported record meets every regulator requirement.
Finish the transition with two usable results: an accessible archive of completed learning and a current plan of what remains to do. Keep the provider documents, your own reflection and outstanding questions recognisable. That is a more useful outcome than simply accumulating another folder of files you have not checked.
Frequently asked questions
Will my GuildEd transcript appear automatically in PSA?
The College says credits, transcripts and learning plans will not migrate. Save the records you need and follow current provider instructions.
Can I complete any GuildEd course until March 2027?
No. General completion ended in September, with limited exceptions named in the transition notice. Check the specific course rather than assuming the record-access date applies to it.
Does an exported iatroX record guarantee Australian pharmacy CPD credit?
No. It documents the supported activity and your reviewed reflection. Check the activity, supporting evidence and applicable professional requirements before assigning or claiming credit.
