We had a long-time member come to us late last year in a panic.
He failed the Key Elements education course.
He needed to pass to keep his licence as he was a grandfathered registrant who’d never had OMVIC education before. He had a reading disability and this weighed heavily on him.
Our member was facing an increase to the passing grade from 75% to 80% (a move we opposed, by the way) and the cost of another $202.86 to re-write a test he was afraid he’d fail again.
He sought help from OMVIC and Georgian College and predictably, got none.
So, we told him about our new UCDA Key Elements primer course, which is FREE to UCDA members AND we told him we’d pay the cost of his re-write.
Well, he took our course, he re-wrote the test, and guess what?
HE GOT AN 85% PASSING GRADE!!!
MVDA Key Elements Course (for Grandfathered Registrants)
Remember, the Key Elements Course must be completed prior to renewal date.
If your profile indicates the Key Elements course as your CPD requirement, you should register with Georgian College at least 5 months prior to your renewal date to allow time for completion, testing, grading, and processing. For example, if your renewal date is July 1, 2026, you should have registered by February 1, 2026 to be safe.
Dealer and Salespeople Registrants who were registered with OMVIC before January 1, 2010, with renewal dates on or after July 1, 2026, that have not yet completed the updated OMVIC Certification Course or the MVDA Key Elements Course offered through Georgian College must complete the Key Elements course as their CPD requirement prior to renewal.
The cost is $202.86 and the passing grade is 80%. Re-writes, for those who fail, will be $202.86 with no discount.
The Key Elements Course must be completed prior to renewal date.
This is the only requirement for CPD for grandfathered registrants in the first registration cycle. In subsequent cycles, they will take CPD like all other registrants.
