Continuing Competence Program (CCP): 

Tips for Completing Your CCP

1. When in Doubt, Give an Example: Including a specific example in your learning activity log responses can help demonstrate to the auditor what you learned and how the learning relates to your professional practice. Ask yourself:

• What did I learn?
• How did this learning expand my knowledge?
• How did it influence or apply to my work as an MLT?

2. Review Your Responses from the Auditor's Perspective: Before submitting your CCP, reread your responses as though you are the auditor reviewing them for the first time. Consider:

• Would someone unfamiliar with me or my learning activity understand what I learned?
• Do my responses demonstrate more than simply reading a summary or attending an activity?
• Do my responses clearly show how I expanded my knowledge and applied that learning to my professional practice?

3. Review CCP Support and Resources: Recognizing that CCP Version 5 (CCP v5) is still in its early years of implementation, we encourage all registrants to take advantage of the resources and support available on the CMLTA website to support you in completing CCP v5 and to provide examples of effective submissions.

The following may be particularly helpful navigating version 5 of the CCP:

• CCP v5 Manual
• CCP v5 Introduction Video
• How to Create a Self-Assessment and Learning Plan Guide
• How to Complete the Self-Assessment video
• How to Complete a Learning Plan and Activity Log video

MLT Hours Worked:
You can either enter the hours worked to date or, if possible, please estimate the hours worked by December 31.

Recent Graduates with Provisional MLT Practice Permits:
Before starting your renewal for 2027, please remember to upload a copy of your CSMLS Statement of Examination Results or Certificate and a copy of your MLT diploma/degree in your member profile under “Change My Registration” to be upgraded to a full-standing Practice Permit. Official e-transcripts stating the date the MLT diploma/degree is awarded will be accepted in lieu of a diploma/degree.

Did you join the CMLTA this year?
If you just joined the CMLTA this year, you must complete your Continuing Competence Program (CCP) requirements for this year before renewing for next year. This means you must create a learning plan for 2026 AND complete it before renewing. If your learning plan appears to be ‘stuck’ during the renewal process, try clicking on “Save for Later”.

Retiring/Moving Out of Province/Leave of Absence:
MLTs whose employment status has changed and will not be renewing their registration and MLT Practice Permit for 2027 must notify the CMLTA by submitting a Notice of Non-Practice through their member profile on their Home Page under “Change My Registration.”

Professional Liability Insurance (PLI):
The CSMLS has a PLI insurance plan for their members that meets the CMLTA PLI requirements. Please note that CSMLS exclusively offers PLI to its members, so obtaining this insurance will require becoming a CSMLS member, which currently costs $172, in addition to the insurance premium of $30 ($202 total). The CSMLS plan also includes liability coverage of up to $5,000,000 per occurrence and disciplinary expense coverage up to $50,000 if you are the subject of a complaint of unprofessional conduct. Click here for more information about the CSMLS PLI program. Insurance can be purchased through their member portal.

Your employer’s policy may meet the PLI requirements. We have confirmed that AHS/APL insurance will meet the current CMLTA PLI requirements. However, employers have noted that there will be no coverage should you be the subject of a complaint of unprofessional conduct.

Private insurance providers may also be able to offer you coverage. The costs for PLI through private insurance providers will vary.

Legislated Deadline for Registration and MLT Practice Permit Renewal:
Anyone who fails to renew by the December 31 deadline will have their practice permit immediately suspended and will not be able to work as an MLT until they renew. In this circumstance, the CMLTA will send a notification to the employer after January 1, 2027, indicating the individual must cease working as an MLT immediately until they are in possession of a valid registration and MLT Practice Permit and provide evidence of such to their employer.

Individuals who renew their practice permit late (on or after January 1, 2027) will be subject to a $225 admin fee. Individuals practicing on or after January 1, 2027, without a 2027 registration and MLT Practice Permit are in contravention of the Health Professions Act and may be subject to a complaint of unprofessional conduct, including discipline sanctions.

REMINDERS

• A completed renewal is submitted before payment is made. If the renewal meets our “auto-approved” requirements, you will be taken directly to the payment screen. If your renewal requires an admin review, you will not be required to submit a payment at the time of submission. Once your renewal is reviewed and approved, you will then be required to submit payment. If the CMLTA requires additional information regarding your renewal, the request will show in your profile when you log in, so please check your profile daily for messages regarding your renewal.
• If you have been using your work or school email address to log into your CMLTA profile, we recommend changing it to a personal email address as security settings tend to block CMLTA emails.
• Payment may only be made by VISA or MasterCard.
• Those choosing to renew mid-December should not expect a 2027 registration and MLT Practice Permit by December 31, 2026.
• To ensure timeliness and fairness, and to meet fiduciary responsibilities, the CMLTA uses electronic means (email) as the primary source for all communication. All regulated members are responsible for receiving, reviewing, and, where necessary, responding to all communications from the CMLTA.

NOTE: The CMLTA office will be closed from December 24 to January 3.
