Regulating the professions and protecting public safety starts with licensure. It’s a rigorous but objective process that examines the education, experience, ethical and professional knowledge, and English-language proficiency of applicants to ensure they meet the required standards. We’re constantly optimizing our registration processes to reduce application processing times—and we’re seeing measurable results. •We made decisions on approximately 94 per cent of applications within the 180-day time frame required by the province’s Fair Registration Practices Act (excluding inter-provincial mobility transfer applications). • More than 99 per cent of inter-provincial mobility applications were processed within the 30-business-day time frame required by Alberta’s Labour Mobility Act and Labour Mobility Regulation . Competency-based assessment In August, we made significant improvements to our competency-based assessment (CBA) process for engineering applications. •Following the recommendations of an independent consultant, we simplified written content to clarify CBA requirements to applicants, validators, staff, and APEGA Board of Examiners volunteers, who review and approve applications. •We assigned extra staff to provide examiners with more support in processing applications.
