WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE: We protect the public from unlicensed practice of engineering and geoscience and unauthorized use of our professional titles. COMPLIANCE
To maintain the public’s trust in the professions, we take action to stop unlicensed people and businesses from claiming to be APEGA professionals or from practising engineering or geoscience in our province.
DID YOU KNOW?
Only individuals licensed by APEGA can practise engineering or geoscience in Alberta or use protected designations such as P.Eng. and P.Geo. Likewise, only companies with an APEGA Permit to Practice can carry out engineering or geoscience work in Alberta or use words such as engineering or geoscience in their corporate titles.
Most violations are resolved without going to court. In 2022, we closed 98.6 per cent of compliance cases without litigation.
