CPD Applications

Continuing Professional Development, or CPD, is at the core of what we provide for our members, as well as being a key requirement for the specialty. We have built a dedicated CPD portal that will enable anaesthetic technician members of NZATS to further their education and stay up to date on important conversations within the discipline.

CPD portal features:

  • Easily track your progress across each cycle
  • Easily classify and view ratio of Substantive vs. General hours
  • Submit your evidence in one easy PDF document
  • Keep all your records in one place
