OMVIC’s REVS also known as Continuing Professional Development requirement (CPD) officially began on April 1, 2026.

You can confirm your CPD Requirements on your online OMVIC portal under the Education Tab in your account’s dropdown menu, ie. do you need REVS, what OMVIC is now calling their in-house CPD courses offered online, or do you need Key Elements for grandfathered registrants (who never had OMVIC education and have been registered since before January 1, 2010).

REVS (CPD) EDUCATION

90 days before your renewal, you will receive a registration link on your portal.

All of the OMVIC options are online, self-study only, compatible with desktop, mobile, and tablet devices. The course takes about 4 to 6 hours to complete, with tests throughout, and you need a minimum score of 80% (with unlimited attempts).

Cost: $99, payable within the 90-day window before renewal, for registrations with renewal dates on or after July 1, 2026.
