The program is based around CE Hours, with a CE Hour defined as “one hour of learning that contributes to a registrant’s maintenance of competency in their Area of Practice”. This means that only activities that are relevant to a registrant’s area of practice and help maintain competency should be recorded. In practice this should encompass a wide variety of activities including seminars, webinars, conferences, self-study of journals, self-study to learn a new skill, volunteering, and presentations, as long as they are relevant. A helpful test might be for a registrant to ask themselves “If I’m selected for a compliance audit, can I justify how this activity helps maintain my competency and is relevant to my area of practice?” The definition in the Guideline also notes studying for future changes in an area of practice, so learning new skills and areas are considered relevant.
