Professional Development Events

The Professional Development Calendar is the place to go to see a list of professional development events. Unless stated otherwise, these events are not being run by or in conjunction with the NZSTA.

If you would like to list an upcoming event on this website, please contact National Office, there is no charge for this.

Continuing Professional Development

Continuing Education Points (CEPs) are used to keep track of the professional development undertaken by current members of the NZSTA. It is required that full members accrue 45 points in a three year period. There are thirteen (13) categories in which members can obtain points, with limits applying in some categories.

Recording of CEPs is now carried out primarily by computer; the Continuing Professional Development Form can be be e-mailed to the Administrator once completed or uploaded when you complete your on-line membership renewal form. Please retain full records as proof of any professional development activity for verification and audit by NZSTA.
