Cycle
Varies by province
Hours / credits
Most provinces do not impose a fixed annual CPD hour count for certified teachers; professional learning runs through school-board PD days, ministry frameworks, and voluntary Additional Qualification courses (Ontario).
Ethics & professional responsibility
Professional-conduct standards are set by the college/ministry rather than hour-based ethics CPD.
Notes
  • BC requires criminal-record re-checks and some jurisdictions tie renewal to professional-growth plans.
Regulators
Provincial colleges and ministries (e.g., Ontario College of Teachers)
