Each member with a Certificate of Registration Authorizing Autonomous Practice with the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario is required to undertake a self-review every other year, through the completion of the Self-Assessment Guide and Continuing Professional Development Plan (SAG/PDP). Members with numerically even registration numbers complete the forms in the even-numbered years. Members with numerically odd registration numbers complete the forms in the odd-numbered years.
Members with Certificate of Registration Authorizing Supervised Practice are required to complete the Self-Assessment Guide and Continuing Professional Development Plan every year.
Members with a Certificate of Registration Authorizing Interim Autonomous Practice who are in compliance with the self-assessment requirements in their home jurisdictions will be provided with the option of attesting to the fulfillment of those requirements, in lieu of completing the Ontario Self-Assessment Guide and Continuing Professional Development Plan. In the event that their home jurisdiction does not have self-assessment requirements, or they are not in compliance with those requirements, they must complete the Self-Assessment Guide and Continuing Professional Development Plan on an annual basis.
Please note that members with an Inactive Certificate of Registration are still required to complete the Self-Assessment Guide and Continuing Professional Development Plan. Since it is anticipated that inactive members will be returning to Active status, it is expected that steps will be taken to remain current in one’s areas of competence during the inactive period.
Members with a Retired Certificate of Registration are not required to complete the Self-Assessment Guide and Continuing Professional Development Plan.
