The Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) serves as a national accreditor of Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for engineering learning activities across Canada. The EIC does not impose mandatory CPD requirements on engineers. Instead, it establishes standards for accrediting professional development activities delivered by approved providers.
EIC-CEU Definition:
Accreditation Standards:
Learning activities accredited by the EIC must comply with rigorous program standards, including:
Accredited Providers:
Organizations accredited as EIC Participating Partners may issue EIC-accredited CEUs/PDHs. Accredited providers are required to register issued CEUs/PDHs with the EIC Registry, enabling professionals to securely maintain a national transcript of continuing education achievements.
EIC’s Continuing Education Accreditation Program is endorsed by Engineers Canada, the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies – Canada, and the Canadian Academy of Engineering.
LearnFormula is an EIC Participating Partner (Quality CEU Provider) authorized to issue EIC-accredited CEUs and PDHs. For full information, please visit: https://eic-ici.ca/eic_ceu-standards/

Engineers registered with the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ) must complete a minimum of 30 hours of continuing education every 2 years. The reference cycle runs from April 1 (odd year) to March 31 (odd year).
Recognized activities include: attending a workshop, course, conference, seminar (including as trainer); structured individual support such as mentoring (up to 10 hours per cycle, including as mentor); published writing (article or book); participation in a community of practice or technical committee as part of a structured process; self-directed learning (up to 10 hours per cycle); and preparing a professional development plan (up to 1 hour per cycle). Where an activity includes an evaluation, it must be passed for the hours to count.
Monitoring & records: By April 15 following each reference period, engineers must submit a continuing education declaration listing activities, nature, date, hours, and trainer (if applicable). Supporting documents must be kept for 2 years after the end of the reference period. The OIQ may refuse recognition of an activity or hours based on content relevance, educational framework, documentation quality, attendance/evaluation records, and compliance with regulatory objectives. A review may be requested within 15 days; a review committee decides within 60 days and its decision is final.
Notes: Eligible topics cover all aspects of engineering practice (technical, law, management, ethics, communications). The Board of Directors may impose specific mandatory training (e.g., set durations, minimum hours by subject, specify recognized activities/trainers, impose deadlines).

Les ingénieurs inscrits à l’Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ) doivent compléter un minimum de 30 heures de formation continue tous les 2 ans. La période de référence s’étend du 1er avril (année impaire) au 31 mars (année impaire).
Activités reconnues : participation à un atelier, cours, conférence, séminaire (y compris à titre de formateur) ; accompagnement individuel structuré (mentorat) jusqu’à 10 heures par période (incluant comme mentor) ; rédaction d’un article ou d’un livre publié ; participation, dans un cadre structuré, à une communauté de pratique ou à un comité technique ; autoapprentissage jusqu’à 10 heures ; élaboration d’un plan de développement professionnel jusqu’à 1 heure. Si une activité comporte une évaluation, elle doit être réussie pour que les heures soient comptabilisées.
Suivi et pièces justificatives : Au plus tard le 15 avril suivant chaque période de référence, les ingénieurs doivent déposer une déclaration de formation continue indiquant les activités, leur nature, les dates, le nombre d’heures et, le cas échéant, le formateur. Les pièces justificatives doivent être conservées pendant 2 ans après la fin de la période. L’OIQ peut refuser la reconnaissance d’une activité ou d’heures (pertinence, cadre pédagogique, qualité de la documentation, présence/évaluation, conformité aux objectifs). Une révision peut être demandée dans les 15 jours ; un comité de révision rend sa décision dans les 60 jours et celle-ci est finale.
Notes : Les sujets admissibles couvrent tous les aspects de l’exercice de l’ingénierie (technique, droit, gestion, éthique, communications). Le conseil d’administration peut imposer des formations obligatoires (p. ex. fixer la durée, déterminer des minima par sujet, préciser les activités/les formateurs reconnus, imposer des échéances).
