Abuse Prevention Training

As a requirement of our insurer, practising members must take annual abuse prevention training. This comes in the form of an online course that you can take in the comfort of your own home.

Practising members must take full training every two years. They must take refresher training the year after they took the full training.

Please schedule some time to take the appropriate course for you. The links below take you to our online learning platform. If you use a consistent login you will see all the online pro-d you have enrolled through with us. If you encounter an issue logging in, please contact chair@ogtutors.com

If you are a new member who joined after September 1 the abuse training that you took upon joining will remain valid until February next year. Select ‘Full Training’ in the renewals form.

Professional Development

The new professional development policy is now in effect.

All practising members are asked to calculate the professional development credit total they have completed throughout the year. A Pro-D tracking spreadsheet has been provided to assist members in calculating their credit totals. Please use either our spreadsheet or your own methods to create a personal Pro-D RECORD containing the detail of your professional development from this year.

You ONLY need to submit your total hours of Pro-D at renewal. Keep your Pro-D record for your records only. Each year, after renewals, a sample of members will be asked to share their Pro-D records for the previous year for informational purposes.
