Earning Your CPD Points from Research and Education Development
6
The research must have clear objectives, structure, and a timeline for completion.
Research and education development is considered informal training, and earns one CPD point per each hour.
Research All the following criteria must be met for research activities to earn CPD points: • The area of study or exammust be directly linked to one (or more) of the seven core competency areas, or to business ethics. • The research must be directed by an organization that BC Housing considers suitable. This could include: construction associations, government and other public agencies, education institutes defined in the University Act, the College and Institution Act, or the Private Career Training Institutions Act. • There must be a formal process to conduct the research. The participant could be an active member of a research committee that is established by the organization. The research must have clear objectives, structure and timeline. In rare cases, the research can be conducted without a committee if there are terms of reference or a contract established by the organization for the CPD participant. • The licensee must keep documentation of a nominee’s active engagement and a complete outline of the research. This would come from the organization leading the research development. In the case of committees, documentation must include minutes from each committee meeting. Applicants don’t need to provide the documentation when applying for CPD credit, but it must be available for review by BC Housing if asked.
