CCCEP's Accreditation Process

There are five steps in the CCCEP individual learning activity accreditation process:
  1. Pre-Application (Development) – provider develops the learning activity, completes an expert review process, and completes all other required documents.
  2. Application Submission – provider completes the online application form and submits the learning activity content and other required documents to CCCEP.
  3. Accreditation Review – CCCEP reviews the application, completes a review panel process (where required) and prepares a Preliminary Report with the results of the review.
  4. Decision on Accreditation – CCCEP sends the Preliminary Report to the provider, identifying any changes required for accreditation; then the provider advises CCCEP of the changes made to learning activity and submits the revised program for a final decision on accreditation. If approved, CCCEP sends the letter of accreditation, and the program becomes visible under the search for a learning activity function of the website.
  5. Final Review (for virtual or self-study delivery) – CCCEP reviews the program in its final form on the intended delivey platform (for self-study) or confirms the accetability of the virtual delivery platform. If approved, CCCEP sends the letter of accreditation, and the program becomes visible under the search for a learning activity function of the website

Post-Accreditation – Providers must submit required evaluation reports to CCCEP, and apply for activity updates as needed.

Each type of application for accreditation follows a similar process. The timeline and type of review conducted may vary for the different types of accreditation reviews (New Activity, Administrative Change, Delivery Type Change and Extension).
