Alberta’s Continuing Competence process is straightforward: complete 24 approved CC credits during the June 1–May 31 cycle, then make sure they are properly submitted by May 31. The most common late-May problem isn’t “missing hours”—it’s missing or incomplete documentation.

• Certificate is in PDF format.
• Certificate shows a valid completion date (within the current cycle).
• Your legal name matches your CCOA registration.
• Certificate clearly displays the CCOA Seminar Reference Number.

Tip: Submit early enough to correct errors and confirm credits are posted before May 31.

Mandatory requirements can vary by member and cycle. Confirm what you personally owe in your CCOA Member’s Centre. If a requirement shows “Yes,” prioritize it well before May 31.

Record Keeping

When required for your profile, Record Keeping must be completed by May 31. Finish early so you have time to obtain the correct certificate documentation and submit cleanly.

Trauma-Informed Care

Trauma-Informed Care is a mandatory item when your CC Summary indicates it is due. Treat this as a “non-optional” checkbox and complete it early in the cycle.

Basic Life Support (BLS/CPR)

BLS/CPR is an annual requirement for renewal. Complete it early each year so you’re not fighting scheduling constraints close to May 31.

1. Confirm mandatory items in your CC Summary first.
2. Complete mandatory items early, then track what credits remain.
3. Choose approved seminars/courses that issue certificates with a visible CCOA Seminar Reference Number.
4. Submit clean documentation and verify it posts correctly to your profile.
