ARIDO is sharing a reminder that the current Professional Development (PD) Cycle is ending June 30th, 2023.

All Interns, Registered and Educator members are required to complete 12 professional development credits: 4 Health & Safety and 8 General Education.

The details of the program are on the Professional Development page.

At the end of the cycle, we will randomly select a group of members to audit their completed professional development credits, to ensure compliance with the current standards.

• If you reported your credits through the ARIDO Dashboard, we have access and can review your credits without further action from you.
• If you reported your credits through the IDCEC, we will need you to complete a reporting form and provide a copy of all your certificates. IDCEC transcripts are not proof of compliance.

You will be notified after June 30th if you are selected for an audit.

Completing PD credits

The ARIDO website has many links to sessions which you can complete for CEU credits. View the recordings, complete the form to request your proof, and you can claim the credits in the PD Dashboard.
