Why must I track my continuing education?

To maintain certification, Peer Facilitators and Master Facilitators must participate in 40 hours of continuing education over two years. Facilitators are required to report continuing education to SafeCare BC regularly. SafeCare BC will issue re-certification if requirements are met.

How do I collect continuing education hours?

Continuing education hours can be accumulated in the following ways:

• A minimum of two workshops (16 hours) in the first year and two workshops (16 hours) in the second year, plus at least eight hours of other activities in either your first or second year.
• All curriculum edition updates, content delivery updates, and refresher training (if applicable).
• Peer-to-peer coaching, safety huddles, new employee orientations, or other workplace health and safety training types.
• Professional development (online or in-person) as approved by SafeCare BC.

In addition to fulfilling the continuing education mentioned above, Master Facilitators must also facilitate a train-the-trainer workshop annually. If you are unsure about the eligibility of your continuing education hours, email training@safecarebc.ca.
