NEW Continuing Education Requirements for Condo Manager General Licence Renewal in 2019

The Ministry of Government and Consumer Services has recently announced new continuing education requirements for certain General Licensees prior to licence renewal on July 2, 2019. The purpose of this program is to ensure the sector has up-to-date knowledge of Ontario’s condo law changes.

ACMO was asked to develop and host the continuing education webinars for condo managers who were granted a General Licence and completed education and examination requirements prior to November 1, 2017. More information can be found on the ACMO and CMRAO websites at acmo.org and cmrao.ca, respectively.
