Training
Professionals must earn 20 professional development units (PDUs) during each two-year period. Certified professionals’ continued improvement of their knowledge, skills and expertise is the public’s first line of defence. The ChAD ensures the quality and variety of professional development offered to members of the damage insurance industry.
To fulfill their professional development obligations, ChAD members must earn 20 professional development units (PDUs) during each two-year reference period, in the following categories:
- Compliance (minimum 3 of PDUs);
- Administration, Insurance techniques or Law;
- Professional development (maximum of 5 PDUs);
- Successfully complete the compulsory course (2 PDUs in Compliance).
Each PDU represents one hour of training.
Members who have earned extra PDUs are permitted to transfer up to five PDUs to the following compliance period. Members may earn PDUs for taking the same training a maximum of two times, as long as the training is taken during two different reference periods. A member who has already earned PDUs twice for the same training will not earn any further PDUs if he or she takes this training once again.

Mandatory Course
For the reference period 2020-2021, the mandatory course Ethics Complaints: From Investigation to Discipline is intended to deepen the investigation and discipline process that follows the receipt of a complaint at the Syndic's Office of the Chambre de l'assurance de dommages.
