Competency-Based Assessment In 2018, APEGA launched a robust system for reporting and examining the work experience of applicants applying for professional engineer and engineering licencee designations, called competency-based assessment (CBA). CBA features a list of core competencies that measures and explains their applicants’
engineering work experience. This transparent, quantifiable and equitable process makes it easy for applicants to understand how their skills are recognized and evaluated. CBA also means objective and comparable information is presented to APEGA’s Board of Examiners, for its determination of whether applicants meet Alberta’s experience standard for qualification as an engineer.
