Reporting Continuing Education Credits on the CMTBC Online Portal As part of CMTBC s Quality Assurance program, RMTs in BC receive continuing education credits (CECs) for completing approved continuing education activities in two- year cycles. RMTs are currently in Cycle 9, which runs from November 1, 2012 to October 31, 2014. RMTs who are active for 12 months or more in a two- year cycle are required to accumulate 24 CECs in each cycle. Some RMTs require less than 24 CECs: RMTs who are active for less than 12 months in a two- year cycle are required to accumulate 12 CECs in each cycle. Newly registered RMTs who enter a two- year cycle with 12 or more months remaining in the cycle, are required to complete 12 CECs for that cycle. Newly registered RMTs who enter a two- year cycle with less than 12 months remaining in the cycle are not required to submit CECs for that cycle. RMTs need to ensure they complete approved activities and report CECs to CMTBC before the cycle ends on October 31, 2014. Failure to complete required continuing education by that date will result in a $175 fine.
