CMBE subscribers make a commitment to undertake 40 hours of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) activity each year.
The Certified Management and Business Educator (CMBE) scheme recognises and celebrates the diverse backgrounds of business school faculty and their varied contributions to raising standards in business and management education.
The CMBE CPD Framework supports individuals who contribute to business and management education in different ways:
Teaching Practice: Direct engagement in the delivering of business & management education at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and executive education.
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL): Research focused on improving teaching methods and learning outcomes.
Academic Leadership: Mentoring, course design, or leading educational teams and initiatives.
To maintain CMBE status, subscribers must complete a minimum of 40 CPD units annually, drawn from ten recognised activity areas, with a maximum number of units claimable per category. At least 21 of the 40 units must be verifiable.
