CaRST Tip

Are you feeling under pressure to complete your CaRST hours? Trying to get CaRST 'out of the way' so you can get on with your research?

Remember, professional development is ongoing and learning is most effective when completed relative to your current career stage.

We recommend completing CaRST activities throughout candidature to give yourself the best opportunity to benefit from each individual experience. To be considered 'on-track', it is only expected that you would have completed 15-20 credits by the CCSP, and 30-40 credits by the Major Review. You can monitor your progress in CaRST Online.
