Alberta Board Requirements

The Continuing Professional Development practice standard comprises two separate and distinct components that must both be completed annually:

• Learning modules
• Personal Annual Competency Evaluation (PACE) plan

The quantity of CPD activities completed annually will depend on the licensed professional’s practice, roles, responsibilities, and competence evaluation.

Annual based on your registration expiration date as follows:

Record of Completed Activities: As required by the Continuing Professional Development practice standard, the PACE plan must include a record of completed CPD activities.

It is recommended that in addition to the CPD activity title or description, the following details also be documented for each completed CPD activity:

• Organizer or Provider
• Activity date
• Activity duration (days or hours)

Written Explanation: As required by the Continuing Professional Development practice standard, the PACE plan must include a written explanation of how each CPD activity contributed to the licensed professional’s continuing competence.

Supporting Documentation: As required by the Continuing Professional Development practice standard, the PACE plan must include supporting documentation as evidence of completed CPD activities.

Annual based on your registration expiration date.

As annually required by the Continuing Professional Development practice standard, CPD activities must include: 

• At least one technical activity; and
• At least one regulatory; ethical practice; or communications, management, and leadership activity.
