Continuing Education

Requirement to Maintain Records

• Licensees must ensure they have a valid record of course completion. Check with the course provider in advance to see if one is provided. If not, bring a form with you and ask the facilitator to sign it at the end of the session. When attending a conference with a number of different seminars, bring a summary sheet, listing seminar titles, dates and hours and have each presenter sign at the end. A payment receipt will not be considered proof of attendance. You must have attended the full seminar or course.
   
• Keep your proof of attendance records in a specific continuing education file, along with sufficient information on how the credit hours were determined. This includes topic outlines, the presenter’s name and qualifications, and the times and dates. Some of this information may be in the course material. You can use this handy C.E. Summary Form to assist you in your record keeping.
   
• Records to support continuing education must be kept for five years from the renewal date the education was used. Random audits are conducted. If you do not have the supporting documentation, Council may take disciplinary action, including invalidating the licence renewal.
