CCP Tips

There are 6 components of the Continuing Competence Program (CCP).  Self Assessment, Initial Reflection, Goal Statement, Learning Activities, Learning Activity Records, Goals Status Reflection.  3 Components require a written reflection: Initial Reflection, Learning Activity Record and Goal Status Reflection. The focus of the reflection is different for the 3 components.

In your Learning Activity Record, you will reflect on why you chose this specific activity and how it impacted your practice, either filled a gap, maintained or enhanced your competence. This reflection is best written at the time the activity was completed.
