CPD while in Canada

I have a dilemma. I may soon be forced legally to have CPD in Canada under my regulated Ontario Professional Engineers Licence or lose it.  CEng is not legally recognised in Canada and it looks like the CEng postnomial is heading the same way.  What do I do here? 30 hours of mandatory Canadian CPD as well as 30 hours of British CPD. Or are these credits globally recognised? Do I have to travel to Britain to do my CEng CPD courses and how applicable will these be? I would be interested to see how this has been thought through for international Engineers in the IET membership. If not, I cannot justify 60 hours of CPD every year. Is the IET then establishing cross agreements with other professional bodies around the world?

  • I just wanted to say that the IET haven't returned to seeing input measurement as the major part of their new refreshed CPD scheme. As Maurice said, Reflection is key to ensuring that each persons own CPD creates the greatest value, and the IET's Career Manager tool caters for this aspect superbly. Those who have signed up for what is currently a voluntary opt-in evaluation of our own CPD will have seen this reflection on reflection (!) in focus, and I personally recommend the scheme to all members.



    To Gareth, yes your hours volunteering for the Professional Engineers Ontario will also be considered applicable to your CPD. You will find consciously reflecting on the volunteering very helpful.
