The competency-mapped accreditation review process for Cannabis-related Competency programs is a two-stage process.
- Stage 1: Regular review for a CCCEP-accredited Continuing Education Certificate program.
- Stage 2: Review the extent to which the program addresses the three (3) competencies.
The Stage 1 review process is the process that is used for all new learning activities, with the addition of the review for Certificate Program eligibility (conducted concurrently).
