Total CPD = 0.0 Substantive Hours + 2.0 Professionalism Hours

Note: Viewing archived webcasts, video replays, or other on demand or recorded program formats without a colleague is now an eligible educational activity for the annual CPD Requirement for up to 6 CPD Hours per calendar year.

Note: Effective April 26, 2012 new members may now apply any program or activity that contains a minimum of 0.5 Professionalism Hours toward the annual CPD requirement.

Accredited programs that took place prior to 2012 are accredited for a one year period and will appear in the Member Portal for 1 year from program date. After that time they are no longer accredited for professionalism hours. Members may apply the time spent viewing these programs toward their Substantive Hours, or they may apply for re-accreditation of the program. 2012 programs are valid for 3 years from the program date.
