If you are a training provider who would like to have your course included in the CEC’s Continuous Professional Development (CPD) program this page contains everything you need to know to apply.
The CPD program framework sets the criteria and quality benchmarks course providers need to meet to be included in the program. Course offerings are divided into to categories Core and Elective. To be considered as a Core course provider you must meet a higher level of education standard set in the CPD Framework.
If you are ready to apply, click below to skip to the application form.
You can apply to have a course listed as either a Core or Elective course under the CPD program framework. It's a good idea to familiarise yourself with these requirements before submitting an application.
We also suggest reading the support guide before you get started.
