In order to ensure that licensees maintain and enhance their knowledge and skills needed to retain their licence, each year licensees are required to complete mandatory continuing education as part of the licence renewal process. Continuing education supports licensees in delivering a high quality of service that safeguards the public and is compliant with the requirements of the various acts the VSA administers. VSA’s annual Continuing Education (CE) Unit focuses on emerging trends in the industry and addresses any necessary legislation changes or reminders for that year, as selected by the Registrar.
Annual continuing education is a requirement set by the Registrar. Completion of the self-study, online CE Unit is necessary to retain a VSA Salesperson Licence. Importantly, continuing education competency helps build a higher level of industry standard and ultimately increases public confidence in the motor vehicle industry.
This year, the Registrar is focusing on issues that pertain to business ethics and the industry Code of Conduct. The CE Unit 6 - Business Ethics & Code of Conduct will be available as of May 1st.
Licensees will be required to complete the online CE Unit as part of the licence renewal process. You will receive an email 30 days prior to your licence expiry date outlining the steps to renew your licence and register for the CE Unit. You must complete the CE Unit before your licence expires.
The Continuing Education fee is $55. You are not required to take the CE Unit until you receive your licence renewal notice email.
For licensees who have submitted a 2-year renewal, you will be required to complete the Continuing Education requirement each year. You will receive an email with further instructions 1 year into your renewal.
