As per the Chiropractic Act and Regulations, each Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors licensee is required to complete 24 hours of approved continuing education every two years. Registration itself is renewed annually and expires December 31, so the renewal cycle and the CE window run on different clocks — a distinction worth planning around. NSCC uses a Category system to keep learning balanced between core clinical competency and supplementary topics, and requires a Record Keeping Workshop every five years. Courses must be Board approved.
Always confirm your obligations with the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors. The requirements below reflect NSCC policy SP-R003 and the College's published registration and renewal guidance.

Each NSCC licensee must complete 24 hours of approved continuing education every two years, as required by the Chiropractic Act and Regulations.
Registration, however, is renewed annually and expires December 31. That mismatch is the thing to plan around: you renew every year, but your CE is measured across a rolling two-year window. Renewal is tied to receipt of evidence of CE completion — and of liability insurance — by the Board's deadlines.
The practical approach is to aim for roughly 12 hours a year rather than 24 in the second year, tracking your Category balance as you go. Nova Scotia does not reward leaving it late.
NSCC uses a Category structure to keep learning weighted toward core clinical competency:
Category A — core clinical. Minimum 12 hours.
Technique, orthotics, rehabilitation and comparable clinical subject matter. A floor, not a ceiling — more is fine.
Category B — supplementary. Maximum 12 hours.
Non-core and supplementary topics. A ceiling — hours beyond 12 in this category will not count toward the 24.
A useful rule of thumb when a course could plausibly sit in either: if the description reads like clinical decision-making, it usually belongs in Category A; if it reads like operations or growth, it is more likely Category B. When in doubt, weight your total toward Category A — exceeding the A minimum carries no penalty, while exceeding the B maximum costs you credit.
Nova Scotia carries a mandatory Record Keeping course on a five-year cycle. Because it recurs at five years rather than annually or biennially, it falls out of step with both the registration year and the two-year CE window — which makes it easy to lose track of. Note the date you last completed it and confirm your next due date with NSCC guidance rather than assuming.
We are being explicit here rather than picking a number, because the difference is material to how you plan.
Published sources disagree on how many of the 24 hours may be earned online — figures of 6, 12 and the full 24 all appear across continuing education directories and provider sites. We have not been able to resolve which is current from NSCC's publicly accessible material.
Confirm the current online allowance directly with the Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors before you build a plan around it. If your intention is to complete a substantial share of your 24 hours online, that single question is worth an email to the College — a wrong assumption here could leave you short at renewal, when renewal itself is tied to receipt of CE evidence.
Nova Scotia requires Board-approved continuing education, and the College accepts the uniform continuing education form — which simplifies documentation for chiropractors holding registration in more than one Canadian jurisdiction.
CCEDseminars courses are offered in affiliation with Texas Chiropractic College, an institution accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education, and we are an FCLB PACE-recognized provider (#34015544). Our catalogue is weighted toward core clinical subject matter suited to Category A. Confirm approval status and format eligibility with NSCC before relying on any provider's coursework for your renewal.

Category A is core clinical content — technique, orthotics, rehabilitation and comparable subject matter — with a minimum of 12 hours per two-year period. Category B is supplementary and non-core content, capped at a maximum of 12 hours. Exceeding the Category A minimum carries no penalty; exceeding the Category B maximum costs you credit.

Aim for roughly 12 hours a year rather than 24 in the second year, tracking your Category A and B balance as you go and keeping certificates in one place. Because renewal is annual and tied to receipt of CE evidence, leaving the requirement to the end of the two-year window creates avoidable risk.
