Continuing Professional Development

The Directors College* requires that all Chartered Directors* undertake 30 hours of qualified continuing professional development over every three calendar years beginning the year following the year in which the candidate successfully completes their final module of the program.

For example, a candidate completing his/her Chartered Director designation in 2005 would need to earn 30 hours of continuing professional development between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2008. He/she would then need to earn another 30 hours between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2011 and so on.

Courses, seminars and events that qualify for this continuing professional development program include:

• All specialized track programs offered by The Directors College, including Audit Committee Program (ACC)*, Human Resource Committee Certified (HRCC)* and Governance and Nominating Committee Certified (GNCC)*.
• McMaster World Congress – Corporate Governance sessions. Held annually in January in Hamilton, Ontario. (up to 11 hours)
