As of February 18, 2026, British Columbia chiropractors are not required to complete or report continuing education under the College's existing Quality Assurance Program. The College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC) concluded the existing Quality Assurance Programs for chiropractors, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and acupuncturists, naturopathic doctors, and massage therapists simultaneously on that date, while a new unified Quality Assurance Program is developed. Licensees are not required to report to the College the number of hours or credits of professional development completed — though CCHPBC continues to encourage licensees to engage in regular learning activities. If you have seen a figure such as "18 hours by September 30" published for British Columbia, it does not reflect the current position.
This page is a plain-language summary of a situation that is actively changing. Confirm the current requirements directly with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC before making any decision about your registration.
On February 4, 2026, CCHPBC announced the development of a new, unified Quality Assurance Program for chiropractors, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and acupuncturists, naturopathic doctors, and massage therapists.
To support that transition, all existing Quality Assurance Program requirements concluded simultaneously on February 18, 2026. From that date, completion and reporting of the existing requirements is not required. Licensees no longer need to complete requirements from the existing programs — this includes Continuing Education (CE), the Practice Development Program (PDP), the Practice Support Program (PSP), and required courses.
Licensees are also not required to report to the College the number of hours or credits of professional development completed.
The pause is not universal. If non-practising licensees are returning to practising status, they must complete any outstanding quality assurance requirements from their respective existing programme. If you are on non-practising status and considering a return, treat your prior obligations as live and confirm what remains outstanding with the College.
The unified Quality Assurance Program is being built to comply with the requirements of the incoming Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA), to align with the principles of right-touch and risk-based regulation, and to take an evidence-based, person-centred approach to licensee competence, assessment and professional development.
CCHPBC's stated reason for unifying is that the four existing programmes varied in structure, expectations, requirements and tools — a single programme is intended to create consistency and clear expectations across the professions it regulates. Watch the College's announcements: when the unified programme takes effect, requirements will return in some form, and this page will be updated accordingly.
A number of continuing education directories and provider sites still publish hour requirements for British Columbia — some describing a fixed annual total with a provincial rules-and-regulations component. Those pages reflect the pre-February 2026 position, or in some cases figures that were never accurate for British Columbia at all.
Because the College's announcement removed a requirement rather than adding one, the practical risk here is unusual: a British Columbia licensee reading a stale summary may purchase and complete continuing education they are not currently obliged to do. That may still be worthwhile professionally — but it should be a considered choice, not a response to an out-of-date figure.
CCHPBC has been explicit that the pause in reporting is not a signal to stop learning: the College continues to encourage licensees to engage in regular learning activities to support the maintenance and improvement of their professional knowledge, skills and competencies in the provision of safe and ethical care.
Two groups of British Columbia chiropractors may still want structured coursework during the transition: those licensed in more than one jurisdiction, whose obligations elsewhere continue regardless of BC's pause; and those who prefer to keep a documented record of professional development in anticipation of the unified programme. CCEDseminars offers online courses and live webinars with instant certificates for your own records. We make no claim that our courses satisfy a British Columbia requirement, because at present there is no such requirement to satisfy.
If you are looking for the College of Chiropractors of British Columbia (CCBC), it no longer exists as a separate body. In 2024, the College of Chiropractors of BC merged with the College of Massage Therapists of BC, the College of Naturopathic Physicians of BC, and the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of BC to form the College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia (CCHPBC).
CCHPBC now regulates chiropractors, registered massage therapists, naturopathic physicians, and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and acupuncturists across British Columbia. Its mandate covers:

None under the existing programme. Effective February 18, 2026, CCHPBC concluded the existing Quality Assurance Programs, and licensees are no longer required to complete or report continuing education, the Practice Development Program, the Practice Support Program, or required courses. A unified Quality Assurance Program is in development. Confirm the current position directly with the College.
No. Licensees are not required to report to the College the number of hours or credits of professional development completed. CCHPBC nonetheless continues to encourage licensees to engage in regular learning activities.
No. Non-practising licensees returning to practising status must complete any outstanding quality assurance requirements from their respective existing programme. Confirm what remains outstanding with the College before applying to return.
Many continuing education directories reflect the pre-February 2026 position, and some publish figures that were never accurate for British Columbia. Because the change removed a requirement rather than adding one, the risk is that a licensee completes continuing education they are not currently obliged to do. Verify with CCHPBC.
In 2024 the College of Chiropractors of BC merged with the College of Massage Therapists of BC, the College of Naturopathic Physicians of BC, and the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners and Acupuncturists of BC to form the College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia (CCHPBC), which now regulates all four professions.
CCHPBC has not published a date. The unified Quality Assurance Program is being developed to comply with the incoming Health Professions and Occupations Act and to align with right-touch, risk-based regulation. Watch the College's announcements — requirements will return in some form when the unified programme takes effect.
That is your professional judgement. The College continues to encourage regular learning activities. Chiropractors licensed in more than one jurisdiction still have obligations elsewhere regardless of British Columbia's pause, and some licensees prefer to keep a documented record of professional development in anticipation of the unified programme.
Please note regarding British Columbia
As of February 18, 2026, British Columbia has no continuing education requirement under the concluded Quality Assurance Program, and no hours are reported to the College. The courses listed below are not offered as satisfying a British Columbia requirement — they are part of our general catalogue, apply toward licensure in other jurisdictions, and may be taken voluntarily for professional development or for a documented record. Confirm the current position with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC.
