► NEW:

It is under the theme "Enhancing my skills: I’ll do so immediately” that the MCEP 2023-2025 cycle takes on its full meaning. As the challenges of your profession are becoming more and more numerous, the training courses will adapt to new contexts by offering varied and topical subjects.

Addition of 0.5 CEUs:

The majority of the mandatory training courses will be of shorter duration and better adapted to your reality. Half CEUs will now be offered, giving you more flexibility!


Same number of mandatory and elective CEUs to earn:

  • Your task is made easier as you will have the same number of mandatory and elective CEUs to earn during the current cycle.
  • If you earn more CEUs than required by the end of the cycle, you will be able to transfer up to 3 CEUs to the next cycle, which will be counted as part of the "elective" category.

 

One-hour training courses = more choice of subjects and more flexibility.
