Maintaining the existing level of certification requires Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours. Calculating and accumulating CPD hours depends on the activity and varies based on applicant involvement. The amount of hours required depends on the level of Certification and need to be submitted within the 2-year certification period:
Certificate holders must complete required CPD hours by the certification expiry date referenced on the digital copy of the CanBIM Certificate. If CPD hours were not submitted prior to expiration date of certification, the individual is required to provide proof of CPD-approved activities completed during the two-year certification cycle and after expiration in order to reactivate previous certification.
