APEGA is one of the only regulators in Alberta that performs all academic evaluations for applicants. Most other regulators use a national process. The advantages of using a provincial system are that we set the standards and have direct oversight of the process, enabling us to charge lower fees. Applications may take longer than six months due to the: - complexity of an applicant’s education or experience - uniqueness of an applicant’s education or experience, if it is in an area with fewer knowledgeable examiners *Applications received from August 1 to December 31, 2021, are not shown because they were within the six-month window.
