Candidates must have four years of evaluated engineering/geoscience work experience to qualify for the APEGS professional license. The competency-based assessment system (CBA) requires applicants to detail their experience, self-assess their competencies, and provide validators for verification. Responsibilities are clearly defined for applicants, validators, and assessors to ensure a thorough evaluation process.

1. Before candidates are eligible to apply for their
APEGS professional licence, they are required to
have four years of engineering/geoscience work
experience evaluated by the Experience Review
Committee.
Eligibility criteria:
For eligibility, they must be registered as
engineer-in-training or geoscientist-in-training, or
member-in-training applicants who have been
given the work experience reporting option to try
and get confirmatory exams waived.
RESPONSIBILITIES WHEN USING
APEGS COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT
SYSTEM

2. CBA (Competency-Based Assessment)
system:
APEGS utilizes an online system, competency-
based assessment (CBA), for the evaluation of
its candidates’ work experience. Aside from
providing validated examples to demonstrate
each of the competencies, candidates must
have four years of experience validated in that
system.
We have provided the necessary information
about the roles and responsibilities of each
participant (applicant, validator and assessor)
below. So, read these roles and
responsibilities so that you can have a clear
idea of what you are expected of.
Roles and responsibilities:
The following is an overview of the
responsibilities and roles of each participant in
the competency assessment system:

3. Applicants:
· Give work experience details by means of
the Competency Assessment System, which
includes working experience chronology and
specific examples to address each
competency.
· Provide APEGS with a self-assessed
Competence Level for each Competence as
per the Competency Rating Scale.
· Provide contact details of a minimum of
four individuals to work as validators to verify
and offer feedback on their competency
assessment. For those validators who were not
given specific competencies to validate, they
give an overall evaluation. For instance, if the
applicant gave examples from only one
supervisor, that supervisor validates all the
examples and the other three validators offer
general comments and answer the general
reference questions that are included in the
CBA system. Applicants can’t act as their own
validators.

4. · The applicant offers additional information
if the authority asks them for that.
Validators (P.Eng or P. Geo
supervisor/colleague/employer/client):
Confirm the information provided about the
work experience of which they have personal
knowledge.
Offer Competence Level ratings for
Competencies to which they are assigned by
an applicant (if applicable).
Offer overall feedback about the applicant’s
readiness for APEGS professional registration.
Assessors (eligible APEGS volunteers in the
applicant’s practice area)
Offer ratings for each competency.
Review the applicant’s submission and
validators’ feedback.
Make a recommendation on the applicant’s
readiness for APEGS professional registration.
