The decision regarding an Applicant’s eligibility is based on the information contained in the Applicant’s work experience details. Applicants are therefore encouraged to include as much information as possible in their work experience details. It is the Applicant’s responsibility to ensure that sufficient information is provided prior to the application deadline, to avoid a delay in the processing of an application, possibly beyond the cut-off dates for an examination and/or interview sitting.
Examination Information

April 28th, 2023 is the Exam application deadline and the due date to pay the Experience review (if you are a new candidate), and September 8th, 2023 is the due date to pay the Exam Fees.

The examination is regulatory-based. To become a member of the Society, Applicants must achieve a pass in the regulatory examination and successfully fulfill the requirements of a technical Oral Assessment based on the Approved Professional designation for which they are eligible (Numerical Standards or Risk-based Standards).
The Technical Oral Assessment will consist of case studies and/or scenarios with follow-up questions that will assess the candidate’s technical knowledge and experience. The interview will be conducted by a minimum three-person panel with experience in the category being evaluated (Numerical or Risk-based). The interviewee will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. Dates and times will be informed individually to each applicant by July 1st. Technical Oral assessments will be in September, 2023.
