24. Who is Impacted The change in curriculum will NOT affect any current candidate, junior or accredited member of the SAAA. It will only affect new members. Current members are not affected by the change in curriculum as from the time of their initial membership application they have been required to complete the prescribed number of CPD hours, they have been exposed to ongoing developments through in-house and workshop training. The new curriculum is aimed towards taking someone with NO experience to a professional level of competence.

25. When and How? When – the desired implementation date for the new curriculum is January 1, 2014. However, there remains to be a lot of discussion and investigation before this can be written in stone. UBC is itself reviewing the course contents. Therefore, we must be patient to see these results before proceeding. How – the implementation of the proposed new curriculum will be completed in such a way as to have no effect upon current candidate, junior and accredited members. There will be lots of communication as this process continues to completion.
