Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is part of an enhanced licensing system. General Contractors in British Columbia who build single-family homes and small residential buildings under Part 9 of the BC Building Code are required to complete CPD as a condition of their license renewal.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) refers to the ongoing process of learning and development that professionals undertake to enhance their skills, knowledge, and competencies throughout their careers. It is a proactive approach to maintaining and improving professional standards, ensuring that individuals remain competent and effective in their roles, particularly in industries that experience rapid changes or advancements, such as construction, technology, or healthcare.
CPD is often required by professional bodies or regulatory organizations as a way to ensure that members continue to meet industry standards and maintain their licenses or certifications. It is typically recorded and tracked, with professionals required to demonstrate their commitment to ongoing learning through a certain number of CPD hours or credits annually.
To earn CPD Points, your training must be directly relevant to the construction industry, be verifiable and address one or more of the competency areas:
Relevant Enactments
Construction Management and Supervision
Construction Technology
Customer Service and Home Warranty Insurance
Financial Planning and Budget Management
Legal Issues
Business Planning & Management
In British Columbia, professionals must ensure that the activities they participate in are recognized by their professional regulatory body or association as eligible for CPD points. Tracking these activities and regularly updating their CPD records is essential for maintaining professional status and staying current in the industry.
