Fourth Quarter \u2013 March 1, 2024 \u2013 May 31, 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

COMMITTEE ACTIVITY<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

During the fourth quarter, the Quality Assurance Committee of the College continued to plan for changes that will better assist registrants in maintaining their professional knowledge, skill and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of July 1, 2024, the requirements<\/a> for fulfilling a two-year Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program cycle have been revised to simplify the applicable CPD activity sections used when categorizing participation, and to better focus registrant involvement in content areas relevant to the practise of ABA and\/or psychology. For example, all registrants that provide formal supervision in a professional capacity must participate in a minimum of 3 hours per cycle of continuing education or professional development activities which include content pertaining to the maintenance or enhancement of their supervisory practices or skills. It is important that practitioners of both professions stay attuned to the requirements involved in providing sufficient supervision and supervised services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registrants that are participating in the ongoing \u201cOdd Year\u201d CPD cycle of July 1, 2023 \u2013 June 30, 2025 may continue to observe the previous requirements<\/a> for the duration of the cycle, should they wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New downloadable CPD Tracking Sheet templates which reflect the revised requirements will be made available in the CPD Program Resources<\/a> section of the College website before the beginning of the next CPD cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon registration with the College, Behaviour Analysts (BAs) are required to participate in the Quality Assurance Program as all other registrants are. For more information about the program components and requirements, please visit the Quality Assurance<\/a> section of our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panels of the Committee also concluded five Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Program audits. In all cases, the Panels concluded that the registrants had fulfilled the requirements of their two-year cycles.
