Nomination Criteria
When selecting participants for nomination, you are requested to consider the following criteria:
-
Nominees should be Members of Parliament who have ideally completed the relevant online courses.
While completion of the CPA Parliamentary Professional Development Certificate is encouraged as part of the nomination criteria, it is not a strict prerequisite for participation. Nominations are therefore welcome from Members who have not yet completed the courses. However, priority may be given to those who have completed the Certificate. All nominated Members are strongly encouraged to work through the relevant courses on the CPA Parliamentary Academy in advance of the Residency, as this will help to maximise their learning experience and ensure they are able to gain the full benefit from the programme. -
Delegate places will only be accepted for CPA Branches with paid-up subscriptions.
-
It is CPA policy to encourage broad participation in its events. We encourage CPA Branches to consider nominating women and young Members of Parliament. If submitting two nominations, both should not be from the same political party, grouping, coalition or caucus.
-
Participants are expected to arrive for the start of the programme and to participate fully through to its conclusion. They must also be conscious of the intensive nature of the programme and be willing to engage in all elements of the agenda.
-
Participants should be willing to engage in all Monitoring and Evaluation, including follow up.
-
Participants must be fluent in English (as no interpretation or translation services in other languages will be provided).
