PIBC Webinars
PIBC regularly offers online webinars as part of its Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) program. These webinars cover a variety of current and relevant topics and are typically 1.5 hours in duration, offering 1.50 Organized/Structured CPL units.
Important Note: Each webinar (live or recording) can be watched and reported only ONCE for 1.50 organized & structured units. Subsequent re-watching of the same webinar does not qualify for additional CPL credits in the same or any other given reporting year. Webinar recordings from a former year will need to be manually reported as a CPL entry and with a current date to show up in the current reporting year.
