To make sure your training meets the criteria, we recommend you look for courses on our Education Registry as these have all been pre-approved for CPD points. If you’re interested in a course but it’s not on the Education Registry, review the course objective outline or curriculum describing the course to ensure that it relates to residential construction and there is a clear connection to one or more of the competency areas. If it’s unclear whether or not the course aligns with one of the competency areas, you can obtain clarification from our Licensing & Consumer Services branch prior to taking the course. Types of training There are two types of CPD training: formal and informal. Formal training earns more CPD points. Training should be a minimum of one hour duration in order to obtain CPD points. Formal training You earn two CPD points for every hour of formal training. Formal training is defined as a structured course or training session. The education provider awards credit after you have successfully completed a graded exam or assignment. The training must be provided by a recognized training provider, such as: • A university as defined in the University Act, the Royal Roads University Act, or the Thompson Rivers University Act • An institution as defined in the College and Institutions Act • An educational body of another jurisdiction that the Registrar recognizes as equivalent to the above You may also choose a course recognized by the Registrar from one of the following organizations:
Contact Licensing & Consumer Services if you have questions about the suitability of a course, seminar or workshop.
You earn two CPD points for every hour of formal training.
