Independent recording tool, not endorsed by these bodies. Annual targets are editable planning aids, not compliance checks. Passport does not submit returns, approve activities or convert hours into regulator credits. Published standards tags are available only for existing supported frameworks.

WorkplaceHero is an independent record-keeping tool. We do not accredit learning, certify compliance or guarantee that a regulator will accept your record - meeting your regulator's requirements remains your responsibility. We research regulator and professional body guidance from official sources, record the source and the date we last checked it, and review entries when rules change. Requirements can change without notice, so always confirm the current rules, exemptions and deadlines with your regulator or professional body before relying on them. If you spot something out of date, tell us and we will check and correct it. Report an update

Renewal without the scramble

Your learning happens all year. Make sure it counts.

CPA bodies set verifiable hours per rolling cycle, law societies set annual hours, nurses answer to their provincial college and engineers to bodies like PEO. Keeping it in one place makes reporting simple.

01

Record what you did

Add the activity, date, provider and time spent. Courses are only the start - record supervision, reading and learning from practice too.

02

Capture what changed

Add a reflection while the learning is fresh: what you learned, why it matters and what you will do differently in practice.

03

Share when you choose

Export a clear PDF or CSV, or create a read-only link for an appraiser. You stay in control of your record.

PassportPro · Passport Coach

Log it. The coach maps it to CPA Canada and provincial CPA bodies, law societies, provincial nursing colleges, PEO, Engineers Canada standards. You approve it.

Matching a year of CPD to CPA Canada and provincial CPA bodies, law societies, provincial nursing colleges, PEO, Engineers Canada standards is the slow bit before your return. The coach reads your entries and suggests where they fit. It is a second pair of eyes, not a sign-off.

  1. 1

    Log your CPD

    Courses, reading, casework, supervision. About 30 seconds an entry, with a line on what you took from it.

  2. 2

    The Passport Coach suggests links

    It reads your entries against your regulator's published standards and suggests where each one might fit, with its reason. Fast-changing topics like GDPR, AML or tax need learning from the last 12 months.

  3. 3

    You decide

    Nothing is linked until you tap it. You stay in charge of your record and your declaration, and the coach points out standards you have not evidenced yet.

Questions, answered

Before you start

Can I use Passport as a CPA Ontario CPD tracker or LSO CPD log?
Yes. Keep a personal record of activities, evidence and reflections, and use tags for verifiable learning, ethics or LSO Professionalism. Provincial CPA rules and Law Society accreditation conditions still apply. Passport does not approve activities or submit your return.
Does it cover PEO PEAK and CNO quality assurance?
You can record relevant learning and reflections and select the relevant Ontario body. PEO assigns PEAK obligations according to your circumstances; CNO uses quality-assurance reflection and learning plans rather than a universal hourly quota. Complete their required steps in their own systems.
How many CPD hours do I need in Canada?
It depends on your regulator and province. Set your own target and match it to your body's current rules.
Can I separate verifiable and unverifiable CPD?
Yes. Tag each entry and filter or export by tag.
Does this report to my regulator for me?
No. You still report through your regulator's own system. WorkplaceHero keeps your record organised so that step is quick.
Is it really free?
For individuals, yes, permanently. No card details and no trial that quietly ends.
What happens if I change employer?
Your account and CPD record move with you because they belong to you, not your employer.
Can I add CPD I did before signing up?
Yes. Backdate entries or import a CSV from Excel or Google Sheets.
