Curriculum review committees Sometimes an education curriculum development committee may ask industry organizations to provide strategic input or comment on a new or revised curriculum. If the organization establishes a structured review committee, participants who are also doing CPD can receive credit for the time they serve on the committee. The organization must provide documents showing a nominee’s active engagement. Course revisions Time spent revising existing curriculum will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Some of the factors we will look at are the types of changes being made and why. For example, if there is a new emerging trend in construction technology that was not addressed in the original curriculum, this would be an acceptable revision to earn CPD points. The curriculum material must be new and not refinements of existing material. You will earn 1 point for every hour spent on approved course revisions. Documenting your research and education CPD activities Participants must keep any documentation of all their research and education development activities. In the case of committee involvement, this must include all committee minutes. Although participants own their records, BC Housing may request access at any time. If the participant is a nominee of another licence holder, the licence holder must have access to the records for licence renewal. If a licensee has incomplete documentation, BC Housing could deny the points claimed. If that happens and the licensee doesn’t have alternate points, CPD could be considered incomplete — which could lead to a suspended licence. Licensees must keep the records for three years after the end of the licence term. Question Can CPD instructors receive CPD points for course delivery? No. You will not earn credit for actual course delivery. Credit will only be earned for time spent on curriculum development.
