Meeting your CPD Commitment

CMBE subscribers make a commitment to continuously develop their practice year on year. Subscribers must complete 40 units (hours) of CPD annually (pro-rated for part time staff) in accordance with the claimable activities and outputs. 

Our framework supports educators to develop their practice according to their development needs across:

  • Enhancing teaching & learning practice

  • Scholarship of teaching & learning

  • Academic leadership
