CPD from Research and Education Development Verifiable Attendance
7
When offering online training or a webinar, education providers must use a training platform that tracks when the attendee starts and ends the course.
Training must be verifiable to qualify for CPD credits. It is the education provider’s responsibility to provide participants with a record of attendance. A participant who only registers for a course or seminar, but does not fully attend the session, is not eligible for CPD credits. In this case, the participant should not receive a record of attendance. Participants are required to keep records of attendance for at least three years in case they are audited. BC Housing can request training records from the licensee at any time to audit CPD participation. If the participant misplaces the attendance record, the education provider must be able to provide a replacement document to verify attendance. Training records are prepared by the training provider and should include the following: • Title of the course • The name of the individual who completed the course • A description of the training • Date the course was completed
• Name of the organization delivering the training • Learning method, such as classroom or online • Number of hours attended
• In the case of formal training, the documentation would also include a certificate (or something similar) that shows the participant passed a graded exam or assignment. The date on the certificate should match the date the exam was completed. When recording the number of hours, do not include meals, coffee breaks, registration, out-of-class study, taking an exam, or completing an out-of- class assignment.
