Continuing Competence Program Update 2020
This year, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the College Council, Competence Committee and Registrar have considered this evolving situation and made two changes to the current CCP cycle that runs from September 1, 2019, to August 31, 2020.
- The minimum number of learning hours required this year is 12.
- You may choose to defer your audit to 2020-2021 year.

The next CCP cycle will start September 1, 2020, and the College has been working to refresh the My CCP platform as well as create a NEW profile page that will help provide context for audit submissions. Look for emails in the summer months that will explain the updated My CCP platform!
Many health professionals continue to learn daily. It is important to know that any learning you do as a technologist that can be linked to your practice can be counted towards your CCP requirements. There are three types of forms to record your learning, depending on the type of learning activity you did. Some examples are provided below:
- A single, isolated learning opportunity (e.g., a course or staff meeting)
- Multisource learning record (e.g., research involving web searches or journal articles)
- Multi-session learning record (e.g., a conference or workshop)
All forms require:
- An overview of the activity content
- Your self-reflection on the learning activity
- You to recognize whether or not this activity supports one of the learning objectives that you detailed in your Personal Learning Plan
- That you quantify the amount of time (in hours) the activity took to complete
When attending a conference or workshop, the amount of learning and documenting of learning can feel overwhelming. In response to this, the College offers the multi-session learning record. In this record of learning, you only need to provide one self-reflection: list each session you attended along with its length (e.g., 1 hour) and a brief overview, then choose one session and say why it was useful to your practice. Please see the example below for a multi-session learning record. By using the multi-session form, you can effectively reduce the amount of time it takes to enter your CCP records.
