APEGS CBA For Work Experience Reporting

Before you are eligible to apply for your APEGS professional licence, it’s a must for you to have four years of engineering work experience or geoscience work experience evaluated by the Experience Review Committee.

Eligibility:

For eligibility, you need to be registered with APEGS as an engineering-in-training or geoscience-in-training, or a member-in-training applicant who has been given the option of work experience reporting to try and get confirmatory exams waived. 

What is APEGS CBA?

The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan utilizes a competency-based assessment (CBA) system to assess the work experience of candidates. Aside from providing validated examples to demonstrate each of the competencies, it’s a must for you to have a minimum of four years of work experience validated in the system.

How to report in the online CBA system?

·        Reach //competencyassessment.ca.

·        Choose the ‘Applications’ section.

·        Adhere to the instructions that will appear on the screen

·        Make an account by virtue of your APEGS Registration/Application number as your User ID.

·        Choose, as your jurisdiction, ‘Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan’.

·        You will get a mail notification on the acceptance of your account. This task may consume up to 5 business days. These accounts get acceptance manually, 8:00 to 5:00 (Monday to Friday).

·        Reach the CBA system by choosing ‘I am a registered user and would like to access the Competency Assessment System’.

·        Start providing your information adhering to the instructions that appear on the screen. Your educational information doesn’t show in the CBA system at this time.

·        If facing any issues with the CBA system, you should contact APEGS.

On the acceptance of your experience, you will get the result via mail. If you don’t pass the first time, the authority will provide you with the opportunity to redo any competencies that did satisfy the requirements.

You need to get your assessment result within 6 to 8 weeks after the completion of all validations. If the authority finds your validators unacceptable, it will notify you and the process of validation will have to be redone.

To be kept in mind: From January 1, 2023, APEGS adopted a new policy on acceptable validators in the competence assessment system.

All Saskatchewan’s engineering or geoscience work must be performed or supervised by a licensed engineer/geoscientist or equivalent.

Paper-based reporting:

If you have already started doing the task of APEGS work experience reporting in the old paper-based system, you can complete your reporting in that system or, ideally, move to the competency-based assessment (CBA) system. If you have not already begun your experience reporting, use the online CBA system.

You should get your evaluation result within a period of 6 to 8 weeks after the submission of your report. If there are any errors or omissions in the report, the authority will let you know about them. After that, the report will have to be submitted again.
