New: Changes to the QA Program

QA REQUIREMENTS DUE BY JUNE 30, 2026

If you have a numerically even registration number, your QA cycle of July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2026, ends this year. You must submit your Declaration of Completion for the cycle by June 30.

You’ll receive an email with further instructions on May 1 when the 2026 Self-Assessment Guide and online Declaration form become available.

See below to learn more about what’s changed this year.

If you are experiencing extenuating circumstances and are unable to complete your QA requirements, as per the table below, please submit a consideration request to the Quality Assurance team at qualityassurance@cpbao.ca.

At its March meeting, the Board approved updates to CPBAO’s Quality Assurance (QA) Program. These changes are now in effect for all current cycles and are designed to simplify requirements and streamline the Declarations of Completion process. No additional participation requirements are being introduced, and QA “odd” and “even” year cycles remain unchanged.

  • If your registration number is numerically even, you continue to be included in the current Even Year QA cycle: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2026
  • If your registration number is numerically odd, you continue to be included in the current Odd Year QA cycle: July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2027
  • Updates to QA requirements for the following certificate types/status (see chart below):
    • Supervised Practice (SP)
    • Interim Autonomous Practice (IAP)
    • Inactive status
    • Autonomous Practice (AP) registrants who had a change in certificate type/status mid-cycle (i.e. in the past 2 years)

  • A simplified Declaration process
    All registrants will now submit only one QA Declaration of Completion at the end of their assigned two-year cycles. The declaration will confirm completion of both the self-assessment and CPD requirements.

  • Streamlined requirements for SP and IAP
    • The Declaration schedule for SP and IAP registrants has been streamlined to match all other certificate types.
    • SP and IAP registrants will no longer submit an annual self-assessment Declaration.

Review the chart below for complete details on updated requirements for each Certificate Type/Status. This information is also available on our Quality Assurance page.
