Continuing Education Credits for CPC Courses

CEC Career Professionals of Canada’s courses and certifications are a great way to earn Continuing Education Credits to maintain your certifications.

Get the Credit You Deserve

Credits are recognized by Career Professionals of Canada (CPC) and accepted by other organizations as a demonstration of continued professional development. For example, you can use your Continuing Education Credits (CECs):

Toward your Certified Career Development Practitioner (CCDP) designation.
To get Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) from a university or college.

Credits may be eligible for other certification/re-certification/higher education programs that require you to actively pursue ongoing professional development.

Who is eligible for continuing education credit?

If you are registered for a CPC course related to the work you are doing or pursuing, you may be eligible for CECs.

How are credits allocated?

Organizations such as provincial associations and educational institutions allocate a certain number of Continuing Education Credits (CEC) based on their own programming requirements:

Taking a one-week CPC course = 15 hours
Taking a two-week CPC course = 30 hours
Participating in a three-week CPC course = 45 hours
Completing a CPC Certification (CRS, CIS, CES, CCS, CWS) self-study = 45 hours
Attending one CPC webinar = 1.5 hours

Organizations also provide presenters, facilitators, and volunteers with additional CECs for developing, presenting, facilitating, volunteering, and/or overseeing a course.

Contact the institution directly to receive approval for credits through CPC’s courses and certifications.
