The latest and greatest info from ILScorp!RIBO Continuing Education Summary
Reminder, Renewal time is quickly approaching.
The deadline for completion of the Ontario General continuing education requirements is September 30, 2015 and there are no extensions for individuals to comply. Noncompliance of the continuing education requirements will result in the suspension of the license and suspended individuals may not conduct any business with members of the public until the license is reinstated.
If you are “Inactive” or on leave of absences (maternity, sabbatical), you are still required to comply with the continuing education requirements to maintain registration eligibility.
If you have not completed your continuing education requirements when completing your renewal form, you must indicate accordingly and attach a brief explanation to RIBO. By answering that you have completed the requirements when in fact you haven’t, you have knowingly falsified your renewal application. This is an act of misconduct and RIBO will refer your file to the Complaints and Discipline or Qualification and Registration Committee for review and disciplinary action.
