Continuing Professional Development
January 26th, 2022
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. The 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. For more information, navigate to the CPD menu.
