Requirements

To comply with the CE Program, professional registrants must complete requirements in their online account between July 1 and June 30 each year.

2022–2023 Requirements

The deadline to complete all three annual requirements and submit your declaration is June 30, 2023:

• Complete the mandatory Regulatory Module for 2022–2023
• Record one CE Hour of ethical learning in your CE Reporting System
• Complete your CE Plan
• Declare all CE requirements have been completed in the Annual Reporting System between May 1 and June 30

CE Program Requirements

There are three fundamental components of the CE Program:

Annual Requirements

In every reporting year, professional registrants must:

• Complete the Mandatory Regulatory Module
• Record 1 Hour of Ethical Learning
• Complete a CE Plan

Are you newly licensed or reinstated? Review section 3.1.4 of the Guide to the Continuing Education Program for a breakdown of your requirements.

Three-Year Rolling Period

The first 3-year rolling period will start on July 1, 2021 and end on June 30, 2024. A new 3-year rolling period starts on the first day of each reporting year. In each period, professional registrants must:

• Record 60 CE Hours of activities (20 hours per year on average)
• Designated structural engineers must record an additional 60 CE Hours of Technical Learning directly related to their structural engineering practice

What Counts as a CE Hour? See our FAQs for an explanation and examples.

CE Declaration

Every reporting year between May 1 and June 30, professional registrants must:

• Submit a declaration confirming all CE requirements have been completed.
• The declaration is completed in the Annual Reporting System.

Failure to complete the CE requirements and/or submit Annual Reporting may result in late fees, suspension, and cancellation.

2021–2022 Requirements

The requirements for the 2021–2022 reporting year were:

• Complete the Regulatory Module for 2021–2022.
• Record one CE Hour of Ethical Learning in your CE Reporting System.

For instructions to complete requirements from 2021–2022, please review this How-To Guide.

Registrants are not required to retroactively complete a CE Plan. If selected for a Compliance Audit, you will be asked to explain the gaps between your CE Plans; for this reason, we recommend drafting your CE Plan for the next 12-month right away and then start undertaking CE activities in alignment with your Plan. CE Plan templates and examples are available from our Resources page.
