CMALT Journey logo with roadmap and finish line.

The University of Edinburgh CMALT Programme is a series of workshops to support staff who have learning technology or digital education as the main element of their role at The University of Edinburgh to gain an internationally recognised professional accreditation.  

The CMALT programme will support staff to prepare an application to gain recognition for their role. Upon a successful application they will be awarded either Associate CMALT, CMALT or Senior CMALT, aligned to their roles and responsibilities.
