CaRST eNewsletter

CaRST Online Upgrade

CaRST Online has undergone a recent upgrade. With this update comes enhanced table features that enable you to sort the activities on your record, for example, by title or domain, or search by keyword such as project management or domain b.

The update has also introduced feedback messages that let you know how you're progressing with your CaRST credits relative to your stage in candidature. So now you can see whether you're on track, a bit on the low side, or even going too fast- information that can help you to pace your activities better.

Finally, your CaRST Review page, which is used to generate a progress report at milestone reviews, now includes a list of all of your activities completed to date. This provides a complete picture for your records.
