Create CPD cycles and streams
Set the start and end dates for CPD cycles.
Video tutorial: Create CPD cycles and streams​
Before you start creating your CPD cycles, you will need to determine whether or not you need to allocate your CPD cycles to different streams.
CPD cycles cannot overlap each other, so streams are used when multiple concurrent cycles are required. The table below illustrates how this can be set up.
Stream 1 | Stream 2 |
2017-2019 | 2018-2020 |
2020-2022 | 2021-2023 |
Create streams
From the menu pane on the left select CPD > Setup > Manage Cycle Streams.
Click the New Stream button

A list of the cycles associated with that stream will be displayed underneath the stream details.
Should you need to edit or delete a stream at any point, you can click the Actions button to select these options.
