QA PROGRAM – PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
QA PROGRAM – PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
All registrants are responsible for tracking their Professional Development (PD) in two-year cycles, as
follows:
*For the reporting cycle ending December 31, 2021, registrants must maintain their PD tools in their own
records. You do not need to submit these templates to CRPO unless specifically requested.
Before the end of each reporting cycle, you will need to ensure that you have completed the following:
1. At least 1 Self-Assessment during the reporting cycle (now available in our User Management
System).
2. At least 1 Learning Plan (which includes at minimum one Goal with corresponding Action Plan and
Reflection based on your self-assessment). Use the template on page 6 to track this.
3. At least 1 Learning Record which documents engagement in 40 hours of learning activities. Use the
template on page 8 to track this.
a) These hours must have occurred during the relevant reporting cycle.
b) At least 1 of the activities must be experiential; at least 1 of the activities must be didactic.
At this time, only the Self-Assessment tool is available on the new User Management System (UMS).
In the interim, we have developed these fillable templates to help registrants track their learning needs
and learning activities. These can be stored in your personal portfolio, including any evidence of
participation in learning activities. You are only required to provide documentary evidence of
participation in the activities logged in your Learning Record if such evidence is requested by CRPO.
These templates are for your records only and you do not need to submit these templates to
CRPO unless specifically requested.
Are you a New Registrant?
The New Registrant requirements give new registrants the opportunity to reflect, set goals and think
critically about their practice and the ongoing growth they plan to achieve in their professional lives.
The New Registrant requirements include completing the following within 60 days of your date of
registration:
1. A Self-Assessment, now available in our User Management System.
4. Beginning a Learning Plan (by documenting at least 1 professional development Goal and a
corresponding Action Plan). Use the template on page 6 to track this.
New registrants do not need to complete the Self-Assessment or Learning Plan again during their first
two-year cycle, though they are encouraged to review and expand on them.
