TRAINING AND MENTORSHIP 2026

It is CAASA’s aim to provide value to its members and with this in mind it is developing new training and mentoring opportunities. CAASA plans to make available to its members (particularly those with an interest in becoming panel members) and panellists, a quarterly virtual workshop intended to keep them abreast of topical issues impacting the industry. CAASA will also implement two public two-day courses focused on drafting adjudication submissions and award writing, which will be open to all members.
