The CMDA DAKN has been running over the last couple of years and during 23/24 has grown as a community of practice. Face to face and on-line events for this network have been undertaken and hosted by UVAC members across different geographical locations. The CMDA DAKN currently is made up of UVAC members/practitioners from over 20 different Higher Education Institutions who are passionate about the quality, development, and impact of the CMDA for learners, employers, and wider skills agenda.

The CMDA continues to be supported and developed by UVAC members at both the Open University, Nottingham Trent University and University of Central Lancashire and facilitated by the support of a UVAC Associate. More recent work has seen the knowledge network undertake sharing of best practice, research and currently working on the collation of impact of the CMDA across the Institutions in support of the review of the CMDA occupational standard.
