Why should I take an ethics course?
CPHR Canada and its member associations, including CPHR Newfoundland & Labrador, have introduced a mandatory ethics requirement that all CPHR designees must include as part of each three-year CPD requirement period starting in 2021- 2023.
CPHR Canada has developed a course to satisfy this requirement and to help you familiarize yourself with the essential concepts of ethics. More specifically, to:
- Raise your awareness of its importance.
- Empower you to detect ethical issues.
- Introduce you to the ethical analysis of situations.
Upon completion you will be better prepared to play an even more critical role in your workplace.
When should I start, and have the ethics course completed by?
In the initial three-year period, you can take it any time starting in 2021 and finishing by the end of 2023. It is your choice how to incorporate these hours into your CPD reporting going forward. The next period will be 2024-2027.
How do I report the ethics course upon completion?
You are required to report 60 hours CPD in each three-year period as part of your Continuing Professional Development (CPD). Three of the 60 hours must now relate to ethics specifically. Each three-year period of 60 hours must contain three hours relating to ethics.
We recommend you keep proof of your ethics course completion in case you are selected for an audit.
