The Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program requires APEGS members to complete ongoing professional development activities to maintain and improve their competence. It encourages members to engage in lifelong learning to protect public health, safety and welfare.
T he program provides tools for members to assess their current skills, knowledge and abilities, determine activities to maintain or enhance them and report completed activities online to APEGS as professional development credits.

CPD Tip
The ‘Reporting Elsewhere’ Option
Do you live outside of Saskatchewan? Are you also reporting professional development activity to another engineering or geoscience regulator?
If yes, you are eligible to report to APEGS using the ‘Reporting Elsewhere’ option. This is a quick process, but it must be completed on an annual basis. For a guide on how to complete this process, please visit our website and navigate to the CPD / Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program webpage and scroll down to the Related Documents/Reporting CPD heading.
