Continuing Education Units

Simulation Australia's Professional Development Program encourages individuals to undertake ongoing professional development. Certified individuals will be required to earn Currency Units (CUs) to qualify for renewal of their certification every two years. The annual SimTecT Conference forms an important part of this ongoing program and CUs will be awarded for attendance at the Conference and participation in selected activities such as courses.

To remain current, 24 CU must be earned every two years. At least 8 CU must be applicable to the Skill Group for which certification has been awarded. Attendance at SimTecT exhibition and papers earns 6 CU per day. Attendance at SimTecT Courses earns 6 CU per half-day.

CUs may also be earned through other activities and workplace experience.
