PACE is here. Your spreadsheet won't survive 2027.
A single workspace for ongoing competency, evidence, and PD — built around APEGA's Professional Competency Evaluation. Pairs with PENG for EIT tracking, so the Responsible Member sees every engineer in one place.
What you're actually managing right now
PACE 2027 will ask something of every licensed P.Eng. on your roster. Demonstrable ongoing competency, evidence-backed, year over year. Today it lives in folders someone else owns, inboxes nobody checks, and the head of a senior P.Eng. who might leave next year. Sign-off liability sits on your name.
PYPD is the workspace your licensed engineers run their PD in — and the dashboard you use to know where the firm stands.
What firms get
Firm-wide visibility
Every licensed P.Eng.'s PACE progress on one dashboard. Filter by team, office, or status. Combined with EIT view from PENG.
Standardized PD workflows
Every P.Eng. logs against the same APEGA-aligned framework. Same shape, same evidence, same audit posture. No interpretive layer between your firm and the regulator.
Audit-ready evidence, current year and historic
APEGA's Practice Review Board can request a P.Eng.'s PACE plan and supporting documents for the current year and several years back. PYPD retains the full record — date-stamped entries by competency, the plan as it was followed. A PRB request takes minutes, not a frantic Friday.
Built to survive the framework change
PACE today, the Continuing Competence Program tomorrow. APEGA's authority shifts to the Professional Governance Act in March 2027 and CPD is being renamed and refined under it. We update the templates when APEGA does — your evidence and dashboards stay where they are.
What your dashboard shows you
Built to slot into your PPMP
Your Professional Practice Management Plan is the document APEGA reads first when they review your firm — and they increasingly expect to see real evidence of competency-management systems, not aspirational language. Bring the PYPD dashboard to your next PPMP review and the competency-management section writes itself.
Got EITs too?
PENG tracks experience and licensure progress for engineers on the way to designation. The firm dashboard combines PENG (EITs) and PACE (licensed P.Engs) on one screen.

Individual P.Engs can subscribe directly to the PACE template without going through your firm. If a few of your engineers already have it, their work rolls into the firm workspace when you're ready.

Founder note
From Sarah, P.Eng.
I built the PACE template because Responsible Members I talked to were managing PACE on the same tools I'd used to write my own application — spreadsheets, shared drives, hope. PACE is too important to your firm to run on patchwork. APEGA expects permit holders to create an environment where CPD is supported and not impeded. PYPD is the environment.
FAQ
- What if one of my P.Engs is non-compliant when APEGA pulls them?
- APEGA can restrict a non-compliant P.Eng.'s practice — including temporary withdrawal, which means they can't legally stamp work. PYPD's RM dashboard catches it months before that point.
- Do my P.Engs in management still need a PACE plan?
- Yes. Every practising licensed P.Eng. — including those in project management, BD, or executive roles — has to maintain a PACE plan. Common blind spot. PYPD treats every licensed P.Eng. the same way.
- Does PYPD replace the myAPEGA learning modules?
- No — those live on myAPEGA and are non-optional baseline compliance. PYPD tracks completion alongside each P.Eng.'s PACE plan so you see both at once.
- How is this priced?
- Per-template, seats included, annual billing. Demo settles seat count and timing. No per-seat math.
- What happens if we stop using PYPD?
- Your firm owns the workspace contents. Every P.Eng. can export their own record; the RM can export firm-wide. Both work during and after cancellation.
