Introduction to the Requirements

There are 3 fundamental components of the CE Program:

1) Annual Requirements

In every reporting year, professional registrants must satisfy the following requirements:

  • Regulatory Learning | Complete the Regulatory Learning Module for the current reporting year in the Knowledge Centre. A new module on a different topic is produced each year.
  • Ethical Learning | Choose an ethical learning topic from any source (not limited to offerings on egbc.ca) and spend at least one hour learning then record the activity in your CE Reporting System.
  • CE Plan | Complete a CE Plan and Practice Risk Assessment and save the completed documents to your personal files for at least 10 years. CE Plan templates and examples are available from our Resources page. Your CE Plan requirement will be marked “Complete” upon successfully submitting your Annual Reporting declaration.

See our FAQs for additional information and applicability.

2) Three-Year Rolling Period

At the end of each Three-Year Rolling Period, professional registrants must satisfy the following requirements:

  • 60 CE Hours | Record at least 60 CE Hours of activities (20 hours per year on average) in your CE Reporting System.
  • Structural Engineers | Designated structural engineers must record an additional 60 CE Hours of Technical Learning directly related to their structural engineering practice in their CE Reporting System.

Three-year rolling periods are made up of three consecutive reporting years e.g., July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2024. The first day of each reporting year is also the start of a new Three-Year rolling period.

The first Three-Year Rolling Period deadline is June 30, 2024, unless your first professional license was granted on or after January 1, 2022. See the Guide to the CE Program for a breakdown of requirements for new registrants.

3) CE Declaration

Every reporting year between May 1 – June 30, professional registrants must satisfy the following requirement:

  • Declaration | Submit the Annual Reporting declaration confirming all CE requirements have been completed.

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