Simplifying Regulations for 2026

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:

  • One EIC-CEU = 10 hours of participation in a formal continuing education program.
  • Each CEU is equivalent to 10 Professional Development Hours (PDHs).
  • CEUs may be issued in decimal increments for shorter activities.

Accreditation Standards:

Learning activities accredited by the EIC must comply with rigorous program standards, including:

  • Clear learning outcomes developed through a needs assessment.
  • Qualified instructors responsible for content delivery.
  • Instructional methods appropriate to stated objectives.
  • Verification of learning outcomes through testing, demonstrations, or evaluations.
  • Participant evaluations to measure effectiveness.
  • Responsible sponsorship and administration of the course.

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/

Do CPD Engineers courses count toward EIC CPD?

CPD Engineers courses are built around relevant, verifiable content that can be applied toward EIC CPD hours. As with any provider, it remains the member's responsibility to confirm an activity fits their own professional development needs before claiming it.
