C. Tech ASET Assessment Process

 If you dream of attaining a Certified Technician (C.Tech) membership in Alberta, then you need to win a positive ASET assessment. For that, you need to prove your competency.

Taking this fact into account, we have written this article so that we can familiarize you with the assessment process, eligibility criteria, and the required application fees. The better you know all these things, the easier it will be for you to win a positive assessment.

Attaining membership will bring you increased credibility, network, and professional recognition.

A C.Tech is an applied science, information, or engineering technology professional performing routine technical procedures with occasional direct supervision. Besides that, they may assume limited responsibility for any decision-making process. Having known what is expected of a C.Tech, now let’s move ahead to know the eligibility criteria for membership.

To fulfill the C.Tech ASET assessment eligibility criteria, you need to: 

·        Be a graduate of a technical certificate or diploma program

·        Have a minimum of two years of technical work experience

·        Work or looking for work in Alberta on the Northwest Territories

Keep in mind: if having a TAC-accredited education, you don’t need to complete an academic assessment for C.Tech. You may contact registration@aset.ab.ca before you apply to confirm program eligibility.

In case of working or looking for work out of Alberta or the Northwest Territories, you should contact their provincial technology association to know about membership options.

If you are not a program graduate, hire an ASET expert to know more about application information.

2.   Education:

Transcripts need to be final and note that the credential was awarded and be original (or true copies certified by a notary a professional member of APEGA, or ASET, or ASET staff).

An applicant having international education has to submit a basic academic evaluation that is conducted by a member of the Alliance of Credential Evaluation Services)

3.   Evidence:

You need to upload the required work experience and competency documentation.

Give contact information for professional references.

4.   Exams:

You need to complete the PPE (Professional Practice Exam)

You don’t need to complete the Certification Exam unless you want to be considered for C.E.T.

5.   Assessment:

Staff will review documentation and ask for extra information if necessary.

Subject matter expert reviewers assess documentation and ask for additional information if necessary (2 to 3 months after submission).

Board of Examiners reviews completed application and decides about certification (BoE meeting happens quarterly).

6.   Post-assessment:

A decision letter is sent to a new member 3-4 weeks after the board decision.

You, as a C.Tech member, have to pay annual dues and get access to member benefits.

You may order a framed certificate or/and member ring.

You will be subject to completing annual Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Why you should hire an ASET assessment:

Although we told you about the assessment process and the eligibility criteria, you can’t write the ASET competency report to prove your competency. It is because you need to be familiar with the ASET technical report guidelines and assessment criteria. Besides that, you need to have excellent writing skills and the ability to write in limited words. Therefore, taking ASET competency report writing services is a must.
