Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) and the PEAK program

Since January 1, 2023, professional engineers and limited licence holders in Ontario must complete PEO's mandatory CPD requirement every year, administered through the Practice Evaluation and Knowledge (PEAK) program. Licence holders who are eligible to practise complete three elements every calendar year:

1. Practice Evaluation (due January 31). A questionnaire about how you practise that sets your personalized CPD target of up to 30 hours for the year (PEO notes most engineers are assigned 14 to 16 hours). Non-practising licence holders complete a survey instead and have no hours target.
2. Professional Practice Module (due January 31). A self-paced online module on professional practice, engineering ethics and regulatory topics. Earlier versions of PEAK called this the ethics module.
3. Continuing Professional Development Report (due December 31). A declaration of the practice-specific CPD hours you completed against your personalized target.

PEAK is mandatory, and PEO has been suspending the licences of holders who do not complete it. Fee remission and first-year licence holders are exempt. PEO Council began a comprehensive review of the CPD program in 2025, so check PEO's site for the current details.
