New Brunswick Chiropractic Continuing Education Requirements (NBCA)

Active New Brunswick chiropractors complete a minimum of 24 recognized continuing education credit hours in each two-year period under the by-laws of the New Brunswick Chiropractors' Association. The current cycle opened November 1, 2025 and closes at the end of the business day on October 31, 2027 — roughly one credit a month across the cycle. Alongside the 24 credits sit three separate obligations: First Aid and CPR, a record keeping course, and NBCA's own mandatory courses. Full details below.

Earning Your 24 Credits Online

Unlike several provinces and many U.S. states, NBCA's by-laws contain no stated cap on distance learning — no "half must be live," no fixed online ceiling. In practice that means a New Brunswick chiropractor can build the CE portion of a cycle from home or office, on their own schedule.

Because the absence of a cap is not the same as a published allowance, confirm current NBCA guidance before committing your full 24 credits to online study — particularly if you are close to a deadline. What matters to NBCA is that each activity is recognized and that your documentation shows date, duration, subject matter, and attendance.

How Courses Qualify: CCE-Accredited College Sponsorship

New Brunswick does not run its CE recognition through the FCLB's PACE program. What carries weight instead is sponsorship by an accredited chiropractic college — the traditional route for recognized post-graduate education across Canada.

CCEDseminars courses are co-sponsored by Texas Chiropractic College, accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education, and every completion generates a certificate carrying the four elements NBCA asks for. Confirm with NBCA that a specific activity will be recognized before counting it toward your 24 — recognition is the Association's call, not a provider's.

Three Obligations Beyond the 24 Credits

Straight answer: three parts of your NBCA obligation sit outside the 24 credits, and online CE from us or anyone else won't cover them.

1. Standard First Aid and CPR — maintained continuously, with proof provided at every annual renewal, not once per cycle. The hands-on skills component must be done in person through the Canadian Red Cross, St. John Ambulance, or an equivalent the Board accepts. Diarise the expiry date; it's the most commonly missed item.

2. A record keeping course — at minimum every 5 years for active members, and within the first 6 months of registration for new registrants. Confirm with NBCA which offerings satisfy this before you enrol anywhere.

3. NBCA's mandatory courses — including Prevention of Sexual Abuse and Member Responsibilities. These are listed in the NBCA members portal and delivered by the Association. Nobody else should be selling them to you.

Documentation: What Your Certificate Has to Show

NBCA is specific about proof. Compliance is demonstrated by written confirmation from the sponsor of each recognized seminar, showing four things: date, duration, subject matter, and attendance. A bare "certificate of completion" without those elements can leave you short at review time.

Every CCEDseminars certificate carries all four and downloads the instant you finish a course. File them as you go and your two-year record assembles itself — no reconstruction in October 2027.

Plan Your 24 Credits Before October 31, 2027

Twenty-four credits across twenty-four months is one credit a month — the lightest sustainable rhythm of any jurisdiction we publish. The members who struggle aren't short on time; they're the ones who leave it until the final autumn and then discover a First Aid card expired or a record keeping course is due in the same window.

A clean NBCA sequence: check your First Aid/CPR expiry now → confirm when your record keeping course is next due → complete NBCA's mandatory portal courses → then build the 24 credits steadily across the cycle.

Building the credits: 30+ clinical course categories at $20 per credit hour · live evening webinars at 2 credits each · custom bundles, where any cart of 10+ hours triggers an automatic 20% discount at checkout — no promo code.
