Directory Improvements In recent years, changes to our online Member and Permit Holder Directories have significantly enhanced public transparency.
We’ve made it easier for the public to find important information about licensed professionals and permit-holding companies, so they can quickly see if an individual or company is licensed to practise engineering or geoscience in Alberta and if there are any restrictions on their licence or permit. These improvements are keeping people safe by helping them clearly identify who can practise engineering and geoscience in Alberta—and who can’t. New in 2023 •We added registrant names to stamps to provide another way for the public to identify APEGA registrants. •If a registrant or permit holder is named in a discipline Over the past few years, we’ve also improved the directories by adding: •each member’s APEGA ID number and preferred first name • the operating as name(s) of permit holders, to identify companies that have one or more operating names (which can be different from their legal names) •the ability to search for deficient permits under permit status (a deficient status means the permit holder does not have a Responsible Member assigned to oversee the regulation of engineering and geoscience within the organization) •confirmation that a permit holder’s Responsible Member has attended a Permit to Practice seminar , showing if they are up to date on this required seminar decision , this is now indicated in their directory profile, along with the year of the disciplinary action and a link to the Discipline Decisions & Orders page on apega.ca , making it easier for the public to identify registrants who have been sanctioned for unprofessional conduct and unskilled practice.
Did you hear the news? Registrants and the public can now visit our Notice of Discipline Hearings web page to find dates and locations of upcoming discipline hearings and the names of the licensed professionals and permit holders who are scheduled to attend.
