Changes Are Coming to APEGA’s Continuing Professional Development Requirements
On November 1, 2025, APEGA will launch the revised Continuing Professional Development practice standard and new Personal Annual Competency Evaluation practice guideline, which detail the new continuing professional development (CPD) requirements and best practice recommendations. Licensed professionals will receive a regulatory email with more information and direct links to these publications when they launch.
Until October 17, 2025, licensed professionals must continue to follow the existing requirements of the Continuing Professional Development practice standard, including activity-based CPD reporting. October 17 will be the last day licensed professionals can add CPD activities in the activity-based reporting system in myAPEGA before the transition to the new requirements.
After November 1, the new CPD requirements—which include completing mandatory learning modules in myAPEGA and creating a Personal Annual Competency Evaluation (PACE) plan—will be assigned to each licensed professional on their next annual renewal date. CPD compliance will be assessed after a licensed professional has completed one full reporting period under the new CPD requirements.
Why the Continuing Professional Development practice standard is changing
APEGA’s Continuing Professional Development practice standard is changing based on feedback from licensed professionals and common issues noted during practice reviews.
The revised Continuing Professional Development practice standard puts more emphasis on licensed professionals holding themselves accountable for remaining competent. This includes remaining up to date on their legislated obligations and planning CPD activities tailored to their needs and areas of practice.
