Starting
in 2007, obtaining yearly continuous professional learning
(CPL) learning units became a requirement for maintaining
member status with CIP and API.
Tracking
your CPL Activities
All
CPL tracking is done
through the Members
Only section
of the CIP website. Members' numbers and passwords can be
found on the yearly invoice sent out by CIP or by contacting
CIP directly.
Once
logged into the Members Only section, the CPL Reporting Form
link is located under your name on the left sidebar.
CPL activities can then be entered under the Forms section
via the Organized/Structured LUs link or the Individual/Unstructured
LUs link.

member.

and non-practicing members are exempt from the CPL
requirements.
When
completing the form in the Organized/Structure LUs section,
registered CIP or affiliate events are listed in separate
drop down menus.
