“ I’ve always tracked my CPD hours using a simple spreadsheet that I made when I first registered as a P.Eng. Today I learned that APEGA has a spreadsheet available for download from apega.ca called the Detailed Activity Record. This tool lists the applicable credit rules and limits for each category.
