The Launch RT Jurisprudence Assessment is an online, web-based, open-book assessment consisting of 60 multiple-choice questions. All new or recently reinstated CRTO Members are required to complete Launch RT.  This will ensure all RTs in Ontario have the appropriate degree of knowledge regarding standards, guidelines, legislation and regulations that govern their practice.

The RelevanT Learning Module is designed to ensure all RTs remain current in their knowledge of the standards, guidelines and legislation that govern their practice. This online module takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and consists of practice standard changes that have occurred over the past year (e.g., recent regulation changes, new or revised professional practice guidelines, etc.).

The online elearning module will provide Members with all the pertinent content and then present a short series of questions (approximately 5) related to the information contained within the module. The goal of the RelevanT Learning Module is to maximizing learning, and so the questions can be attempted as many times as necessary until the correct response is obtained.

The PORTfolio is a professional development tool used to capture ongoing professional learning by all CRTO Members on an on-going basis. Members acknowledge annually that they are participating in the CRTO’s Professional Development Program by engaging in ongoing professional development activities and regularly recording these activities in their PORTfolio.

PORTfolio Review Year

All General, Limited and Graduate Members are assigned a Review Year after the completion of Launch RT (if required). This Review Year will dictate when each Member’s PORTfolio is due to be submitted. Once the Member’s PORTfolio has been submitted and assessed, the Member will be assigned their next Review Year.

You can access the new PORTfolio in the Member Login section of the CRTO website under Professional Development. Once you login, you will see the PORTfolio has been redesigned and consists of  three sections (Self-Assessment, Learning Log & Learning Goal). If you want to view your past PORTfolios, simply go to the Archives tab on the right-hand side.

To successfully submit your PORTfolio, you will need to complete all three steps:

Step 1 – Complete your Self-Assessment. This will result in the creation of potential Learning Goal(s) for you to pursue.

Step 2 – Review the Learning Goal(s) created by your Self-Assessment and select one (1) goal to be reviewed by an RT Peer Assessor. If you don’t wish to use any of the Learning Goals transferred from your Self-Assessment, you can create one of your own.

Step 3 – Engage in ongoing professional development activities and keep your Learning Log up to date on an ongoing basis. Ensure that at least one of your learning log activities supports the selected/created learning goal.

All the information necessary to complete and submit your PORTfolio is included on the platform. You can also find additional information by following this link.

If you have any other questions about PORTfolio, or any other component of the CRTO’s Professional Development Program, please contact Kelly Arndt, RRT – Quality Practice Manager at arndt@crto.on.ca or 416-591-7800 x 33 / 1-800-261-0528 x 33.

A SCERP may be required if it is identified in the Launch RT Jurisprudence Assessment or the PORTfolio assessment process that a Member requires additional education and guidance in order to successfully meet their CRTO PDP requirements.

Once a SCERP is completed, the CRTO QAC may determine that further assessment is necessary and the committee has several assessment options available. One of those is for the Member to undergo a Practice Assessment. This assessment would be conducted at the Members practice site (or other appropriate location) and facilitated by an RT who has been trained as an assessor.

* “Deferral granted” column reflects those granted for the Launch Jurisprudence exam. Portfolio submission deferrals are granted for 12 months.

You will then submit the completed PORTfolio by April 1 2023.
