CEP Activity Options and Points Weighting


To assist in tallying up your CEP we have developed the following list of possible CEP Activities.

  • The general principal employed with the weighting is that 1 hour of CEP is equivalent to 1 point.
  • The role of the CEP coordinator is to provide coaching and guidance in line with the CEP program.
  • Requirements for RACMA Fellows (FRACMA):
    • 50 points per annum
    • At least one self review and/or 360 degree activity each triennium
    • It is recommended that a minimum of 10 points are selected from each of the Standard 2 Sections A-D.
  • Requirements for RACMA Associate Fellows (AFRACMA):
    • 25 points per annum and must be "management related" activities
    • It is recommended that a minimum of 5 points are selected from each of the Standard 2 Sections A-D.
