As the premier organization for continuing pharmacy education, the Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy (CCCEP) plays an important role. The CCCEP is a national body that rigorously assesses and accredits continuing education programs for pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
They focus on maintaining high standards, remaining current on industry trends, and ensuring compliance with regulations. By endorsing programs that meet these criteria – such as AAPS’s Legislations, Ethics and Good Governance Practices, and Introduction to Clinical Research and Drug Safety – CCCEP plays a vital role in equipping pharmaceutical professionals across Canada with the knowledge and skills needed for effective patient care.
Regarding pharmacovigilance training in Canada, CCCEP accreditation is a highly sought-after gold standard and a vital indicator of a high-quality training program. This blog post explains why it matters so much in the pharmacovigilance niche.
Rigorous Standards for Educational Excellence
The Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy sets the gold standard for quality continuing pharmacy education. Renowned for upholding high standards, its reputation is rooted in a commitment to excellence. The CCCEP accreditation is a hallmark of excellence in pharmacovigilance training.
Programs with this accreditation, such as our Legislations, Ethics and Good Governance Practices, and Introduction to Clinical Research and Drug Safety, have been verified and confirmed to meet stringent requirements for learning excellence.
This accreditation is a guarantee that the program’s curriculum, instructional methods, and assessment tools have been meticulously crafted to offer participants a learning experience that is both comprehensive and effective. It underscores a dedication to providing professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the intricate field of pharmacovigilance.

Overview of the CCCEP Accreditation Process
The CCCEP individual learning activity accreditation process involves a systematic and rigorous five-step approach to ensure the quality and relevance of educational programs. Beginning with the Pre-Application phase, providers develop the learning program, undergo an expert review, and complete the necessary documents. Subsequently, providers move to the Application Submission step, where they submit the learning activity content and required documentation to the CCCEP online.
The next stage is the Accreditation Review, which involves a meticulous assessment by CCCEP culminating in a Preliminary Report detailing the results. Following this, the CCCEP transmits the Preliminary Report to the provider, detailing adjustments to be made, if any. After making the necessary changes, providers may proceed to submit the revised program for final accreditation. Upon approval, CCCEP issues an accreditation letter, and the program is then made accessible through the CCCEP website’s learning activity search function.
The Final Review, explicitly designed for virtual or self-study delivery, involves the CCCEP assessing the program in its final form on the designated delivery platform and verifying the acceptability of the virtual delivery platform. Post-accreditation, providers must submit required evaluation reports and apply for activity updates as needed to maintain accreditation standards. This comprehensive process underlines CCCEP’s commitment to upholding educational excellence in pharmacy.
