For example, if you were certified (ie. became a C.Tech. A.Sc.T. or C.E.T.) on April 7, 2016, then your first CPD cycle began January 1, 2017 and ends December 31, 2019. Your second CPD cycle will begin on January 1, 2020 and end December 31, 2022.
Associate Members
Check the table below for the start and end dates for your 3-year CPD cycle. Pay attention to your certification timeline. You can check your timeline by scrolling to the bottom of the page and clicking the blue "Track Certification" button.

Your First 3-Year Cycle |
Your Second 3-Year Cycle |
| Prior to July 1, 2005 |
If you are an Associate and joined OACETT prior to July 1, 2005, then you were not assigned a certification timeline and were assigned to the first 3-year cycle. |
January 1, 2016 – December 31, 2018 |
January 1, 2019 – December 31, 2021 |
Between July 1, 2005 and December 31, 2015
Associate members have been assigned certification timelines since July 1, 2005. |
If you are an Associate member and have not met your assigned timeline of January 1, 2019, you will be given a 6-month grace period. If your certification timeline and 6-month grace period have expired, and you have still not become certified, then a 3-year CPD cycle will be assigned. |
January 1, 2020 – December 31, 2022 |
January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2025 |
| Within the Last 3 or 6 years |
If you are still within your assigned 3 or 6-year certification timeline, then you are exempt from CPD for the time being. |

For example, if you became an Associate member on September 8, 2009, and your certification timeline and grace period have expired, and you are still not certified by December 31, 2019, then you will be assigned to the next CPD cycle, which runs January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2022.
Another example, if you became an Associate member on March 4, 2017, and were assigned a 6 year certification timeline, then you are currently not required to complete continuing professional development.
