Participation in the Continuing Competence Program (CCP) is a mandatory part of registration outlined in the Health Professions Act and the College’s Standards of Practice.
The CCP requires that all registrants complete an annual reflective practice review, including:
- (a) a personal assessment of the regulated member’s own practice
- (b) the development and implementation of a learning plan that follows the regulated member’s personal assessment of the regulated member’s practice
- (c) a written evaluation of the result of the learning pursuant to the learning plan on the regulated member’s practice.
Non-compliance with CCP requirements is considered unprofessional conduct and could place a registrant’s practice permit at risk. The Competence Committee will refer the matter to the Complaints Director.
The annual CCP cycle begins on September 1 and ends with the final submission deadline of August 31.

If you hold general registration (a practice permit), you are responsible for completing the CCP requirements.
If you are not working as an MRT or ENP, you may resign your registration and reapply before returning to work. You will not be required to complete any CCP hours while you are resigned; however, you will still be responsible for completing your CCP for any months you hold general registration. Please contact the College to confirm your requirements, as your leave may overlap CCP cycles.
In My CCP, make sure you select the correct CCP cycle. For example, if you were on leave and need to complete your 2021-2022 CCP cycle, select that period.
CCP compliance is a mandatory registration requirement with the College.
If you are found to be non-compliant during Annual Renewal or the CCP Audit, the College can assist you in becoming compliant so that you may retain your registration.
If you refuse to comply with the CCP, this would be considered unprofessional conduct, and the Competence Committee will refer the matter to the Complaints Director.
