Kinesiologists are required to participate in Continuing Professional Development (CPD) activity to keep their knowledge and skills up-to-date, and to demonstrate a commitment to continuous quality improvement. 

The College does not require kinesiologists to complete a specific number of CPD hours or credits each year, nor does it need to be approved by the College.  Instead, CPD is self-directed learning process. Kinesiologists are encouraged to choose learning activities that align with their individual practice, professional needs, and career goals. Kinesiologists should also take time to reflect on how their learning contributes to their competence and enhances their practice. This reflective approach supports continuous improvement and helps ensure high-quality, client-centered care.

CPD Activities and Quality Assurance

CPD activities do not need to be completed within the same year they begin. Ongoing or multi-year activities—such as part-time degree studies—are permitted, as long as they are:

• Linked to a specific learning goal
• Have a defined end date

Kinesiologists are expected to report on their progress and evaluate the effectiveness of their learning during each self-assessment cycle.

For the purposes of the Quality Assurance (QA) Program, selected CPD activities must support the achievement of learning goals outlined in the Individual Learning Plan (ILP).

ILPs are flexible and can be updated at any time to reflect changes in practice, interests, or professional development needs.

Professional portfolio

Kinesiologists are required to maintain a portfolio that contains records or evidence of CPD activity undertaken to achieve the learning goals identified in the ILP. Kinesiologists can upload evidence of CPD activity to the Self-Assessment Portal, or store documentation in another location (e.g. storage box, filing cabinet, etc.).  For examples of acceptable evidence of participation in CPD activity, refer to the Portfolio Contents and Format Policy.

CPD Directory

The College has compiled a list of courses and other resources to guide kinesiologists in selecting CPD activity. The links contained within the directory are not intended to be a comprehensive or complete list, and inclusion is not an endorsement by the College of their value. 

We are working to build a comprehensive listing, and we need your help. If you are aware of other CPD opportunities you think should be posted here and/or have a CPD service, course or conference that you would like listed on the directory, please email the College.

*Current Council and non-Council committee members and peer assessors cannot submit their CPD services for posting on the directory. This may put them in a conflict of interest or create the perception of a conflict. Former Council and non-Council committee members and peer assessors cannot use their previous association to promote their services.
