APEGA supports licensed professionals who return to practice by using a variety of checks and balances.
APEGA licensed professionals who stop practising do so for a variety of reasons—such as moving to other provinces or resigning for personal reasons— but to return to practice, they all must apply for reinstatement, resumption, or reactivation. Returning to practice may come with practice restrictions, conditions, or both, determined by the length of lapse in registration or non-practising status, compliance history, and number of years practising. A licensed professional may have to work under the supervision of another licensed professional for one year, or complete an ethics
course or the National Professional Practice Exam, or undergo a continuing professional development (CPD) review under the Continuing Professional Development practice standard. Before the revised standard came into effect on November 1, the Individual Practice team focused on clearing returning professionals’ CPD conditions for those who were eligible, so they would not carry over to the new requirements. Through the Practice Review Board’s approval, we removed 641 CPD conditions before the transition.
