How to Report Your CPD to BC Housing
A Step-by-Step Guide for Residential Builders
Completing your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is only one part of the process. It’s also important to ensure your completed education is properly reported and that you maintain appropriate records for your licence renewal.
This guide provides a general overview of the CPD reporting process for residential builders in British Columbia and offers practical tips to help you stay organized throughout the year.
Before You Report Your CPD
Before beginning the reporting process, make sure you have completed all required Continuing Professional Development activities.
It’s also a good idea to have the following information readily available:
- Certificates of Completion
- Course completion dates
- Course titles
- Any additional supporting documentation, if applicable
Keeping these records organized throughout the year will make reporting much easier.
Step 1: Complete Your Required CPD
Ensure you have successfully completed all required Continuing Professional Development before beginning the reporting process.
If you still need to complete your education, browse our approved online CPD courses.
Step 2: Save Your Certificates of Completion
After completing each course, save a copy of your Certificate of Completion.
We recommend keeping both digital and printed copies whenever possible.
Good recordkeeping can save time if questions arise during licence renewal.
Step 3: Access the BC Housing Builder Portal
When you’re ready to report your Continuing Professional Development, sign in to the appropriate BC Housing online portal used for residential builder licensing and Continuing Professional Development reporting.
If you have difficulty accessing your account, contact BC Housing directly for assistance with login or account-related questions.
Step 4: Report Your Completed CPD
Follow the instructions provided within the BC Housing portal to report your completed Continuing Professional Development activities.
Carefully review all information before submitting your report to ensure it is complete and accurate.
Step 5: Keep Copies of Your Records
Even after reporting your Continuing Professional Development, continue to keep copies of:
- Certificates of Completion
- Course confirmations
- Any supporting documentation
- Confirmation of your reported CPD, if available
Maintaining organized records is a good professional practice and can simplify future licence renewals.
Best Practices for CPD Hours Reporting
The easiest way to manage Continuing Professional Development is to spread it throughout the year rather than waiting until your renewal deadline.
We recommend that you:
- Complete your CPD early
- Save every Certificate of Completion
- Keep all records in one location
- Report completed education promptly
- Review your records before renewing your licence
Planning ahead helps reduce stress and minimizes the risk of overlooking important requirements.
