Continuing Education and Competency Program
CMTPEI registrants will be required to write the online Jurisprudence Exam as a requirement for the renewal of registration for this year only (registration renewal 2022). The CEC program presented here will be launched in May 2022 for completion of the 2023 registration renewal.
Recent registrants who have paid to write the ONLINE version of the Jurisprudence Exam will not be required to re-write the exam as a requirement of renewal for 2022. All others, including registrants that have written the short paper version will be required to write the ONLINE version of the Jurisprudence Exam as a requirement for the 2022 renewal.
The Continuing Education and Competency program (CEC) is a formal process of assessing the ongoing knowledge, skills, and judgment of RMTs which make up the College registrants. It is a quality assurance mechanism implemented to ensure registrants are competent in their respective practice. The program contributes to the College's objective to protect the public interest. Some key items to keep in mind:
- CEC is a mandatory component of the annual renewal of registration.
- Every registrant who holds a CMTPEI certificate of registration is expected to participate in or be compliant with the program requirements annually.
- Registrants not compliant with the program may be ineligible for a certificate of registration to practice as a Massage Therapist in Prince Edward Island.
- Compliance is determined through a review of the annual learning plan.
The Continuing Education and Competency program has four components:
