Can members who reside outside the Lower Mainland meet the CPD Guideline requirements?
Technical journals and standards can be accessed regardless of location as can on-line or distance courses. Members in regions throughout the province are encouraged to create networking meetings with their colleagues and work with their local branch of APEGBC to increase access to professional development in regions throughout the province. The cost and time required to comply with the CPD Guideline is too onerous. Under the Code of Ethics, professional engineers and geoscientists are expected to follow a professional development program. As the program is very flexible with regard to the ways in which a member achieves their professional development, the cost would be controllable by the member. There are numerous professional development opportunities that are offered at little or no cost. Some examples of these are in-house seminars, employer-sponsored sessions, brown bag lunch sessions that various technical groups hold, the reading of technical journals and standards, APEGBC Bran
