Once the Designation is achieved, it is expected that designates maintain their Designation through the completion of 100 hours or more of continuing educational activities every five years. The requirements include participation in educational activities within the Institute (minimum 30 hours), with additional activities outside of the Institute.
Some of educational activities that can be considered include: taking a course/workshop; leading a workshop or co-facilitate a de Souza course; presenting at a conference; participating in a practice council/committees or submitting an article for journal publication.
To track the learning hours, you could use the CNA tracking sheet, the same one that you use towards your CON(C) or CHPCN(C) renewal.
