Quebec chiropractors must complete at least 40 hours of mandatory continuing education (formation continue obligatoire) per two-year reference period — currently January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027 — including a minimum of 30 hours through Ordre-recognized activities, 3 hours in ethics and déontologie from the OCQ's published list, and 2 hours of CPR/AED training, under the Règlement sur la formation continue obligatoire de l'Ordre des chiropraticiens du Québec (C-16, r. 8.2). Quebec is different: your regulator is an Ordre, not a "College," there is no CE Broker, and compliance runs on self-declaration through your Espace membre portal backed by a post-hoc audit model. This page walks you through the current cycle in the Ordre's own terms — période de référence, admissible activities, declaration deadlines — so you can plan, complete, and document your hours with confidence.
✔ Complete 30 of your 40 hours in two clicks: our Quebec 20-Hour and 10-Hour OCQ bundles share zero overlapping courses, cover technique, clinical sciences, déontologie-aligned ethics, documentation, diagnostic imaging, and rehabilitation, and the automatic 20% discount applies to both at checkout — no promo codes needed.
The requirements below reflect the Règlement sur la formation continue obligatoire (C-16, r. 8.2), in force since January 1, 2024, and — for radiology permit holders — the Règlement sur les normes de délivrance et de détention des permis de radiologie (C-26, r. 6). Always confirm your personal obligations with the Ordre des chiropraticiens du Québec (OCQ).
Eleven courses spanning every OCQ-admissible category — ethics & déontologie, record keeping, diagnostic imaging with DACBR radiologists, technique, and clinical sciences — taught by Drs. Michael Hall, Sandra Norton, Donald Ozello, Steve Yeomans, Howard Benedikt, John Riggs III, and Monte Horne.

The Règlement sur la formation continue obligatoire (C-16, r. 8.2, in force January 1, 2024) sets a 40-hour minimum per two-year reference period. Each period begins January 1 of an even-numbered year — the current period runs January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. Within your 40 hours:
30+ hours — Recognized activities. Courses, online training, workshops, seminars, and conferences offered or organized by the Ordre or by an organization recognized by the Ordre.
3+ hours — Ethics & déontologie. Must be chosen from the list of activities the Ordre publishes on its website — ethics, déontologie, or professional practice.
2+ hours — CPR/AED (RCR/DEA). Initial or requalification training by a certified organization or trainer. Waived only if these hours were completed during the immediately preceding period. Per OCQ member guidance, the practical component must be completed in person (hybrid formats accepted).
Remaining hours — Flexible. Other admissible activities include self-directed learning, personal reading of peer-reviewed material, approved research participation, and teaching (capped at 16 hours per period). Where an activity includes an evaluation, you must pass it to bank the hours.
Excess hours cannot carry forward to the next period, and chiropractors registering or re-registering mid-period owe hours pro-rated to the full months remaining. Bundle savings are automatic at checkout: 10% at 6–9 CE hours, 20% at 10 or more — no promo codes.
Do you hold a Quebec radiology permit (permis de radiologie)? If so, you carry a second, separate CE obligation on top of your 40-hour general OCQ cycle. Under C-26, r. 6, Art. 8, radiology permit holders must complete at least 24 hours of continuing education in each 24-month period beginning January 1 of an even-numbered year — the current radiology cycle also runs 2026–2027. Those 24 hours must cover all four permit domains: radioprotection, radiographic technique (technique radiologique), diagnostic radiology, and radiobiology (radiobiologie).
If the 24 hours are not completed, the permit is retained only by passing the OCQ radiology examination (Art. 9); failing that examination leads to suspension of the permit until the exam is passed or the training completed (Art. 11).
This 24-hour radiology requirement applies only to permit holders — chiropractors without a radiology permit have no radiology CE obligation. CCEDseminars offers a DACBR-taught Radiology series that can help permit holders build toward their radiology CE hours.
Quebec runs on self-declaration, not pre-approval. You must transmit a continuing-education declaration to the Ordre through your Espace membre no later than January 31 following the end of each reference period — January 31, 2028 for the current cycle. The declaration lists each activity's title, hours, date, trainer, and providing organization. For every activity, obtain an attestation showing the organization, trainer, activity title, date, and duration — CCEDseminars certificates issue instantly with these details — and keep your supporting documents for five years from the date you file your declaration.
Take the deadlines seriously: if the Ordre issues a default notice, you have 45 days to cure a CE shortfall (21 days for a missing declaration or document), and an uncured default leads to being struck from the tableau de l'Ordre — effective immediately upon notification — until the requirements are met. Exemptions exist for parental leave, illness, caregiver status, and exceptional circumstances, on written application to the Ordre.
At least 40 hours of formation continue obligatoire per two-year reference period under C-16, r. 8.2. The current period runs January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027. Excess hours do not carry forward, and chiropractors joining the tableau mid-period owe pro-rated hours for the full months remaining.
Yes — online training (formations en ligne) is expressly listed among admissible activities, and self-directed learning is also recognized. Where a course includes an evaluation, you must pass it to bank the hours. The one carve-out is CPR: per OCQ member guidance, the RCR/DEA practical component must be completed in person, with hybrid (online theory + in-person practical) formats accepted. Every CCEDseminars course is 100% online with an instant certificate for your records.
A minimum of 30 hours through the Ordre or Ordre-recognized organizations, at least 3 hours in ethics/déontologie or professional practice chosen from the OCQ's published list, and at least 2 hours of CPR/AED training by a certified provider (waived if completed in the preceding period). You self-declare through your Espace membre by January 31 following the period's end — January 31, 2028 for this cycle — and keep supporting documents for five years. There is no CE Broker in Quebec.
Only if you hold a radiology permit (permis de radiologie). There is no radiology CE requirement inside the general 40-hour cycle. Under C-26, r. 6, Art. 8, permit holders must complete at least 24 hours every 24 months — the current cycle is 2026–2027 — covering radioprotection, radiographic technique, diagnostic radiology, and radiobiology. Falling short means keeping the permit only by passing the OCQ radiology exam, with suspension possible after a failed exam. CCEDseminars offers a DACBR-taught Radiology series that can help permit holders build toward their radiology CE hours.
Other chiropractic CE providers often stop at generic course lists. CCEDseminars pairs a 1,000+ hour PACE-recognized catalog (Provider #34015544, affiliated with Texas Chiropractic College) with Quebec-specific bundles built for the OCQ's admissible categories, instant per-course certificates formatted for your Espace membre declaration and five-year retention, and automatic bundle discounts — 10% at 6–9 hours, 20% at 10 or more — with no promo codes. Documentation-first design for a self-declaration province.
