Regulatory Excellence
Practice Standards Our practice standards, bulletins, and guidelines outline regulatory requirements and best practices for APEGA registrants. These publications all have the same goals: to keep Albertans safe and maintain the accountability of the professions. They are regularly reviewed and updated. New ones may be added, and older ones withdrawn. Just as technology, techniques, and society evolve, so too must our publications, ensuring APEGA registrants always uphold the highest standards of practice.
