Advance your career
The REIQ continuing professional development (CPD) program is the accreditation system used for retaining
membership status, and will require completion by each licensee of a REIQ accredited agency, or any individual
member of the Institute. Since the inception of the REIQ CPD program, we have extended the program to ensure
all sectors of our membership are provided for, as the primary purpose of CPD is to promote best practice and
compliance across the industry.
