Academic Self-Assessment

The applicant Academic Self-Assessment is based on the National Technology Benchmark (NTB) for academics. The NTB is the minimum academic level for technologists as determined by the ASET Board of Examiners. The self-assessment is an open, fair and transparent process that allows the applicant to identify and provide evidence to demonstrate they meet the academic requirement of the NTB. The self-assessment will be audited by the ASET Board of Examiners to determine if compliance with the NTB has been achieved.

CTAB-Accredited Programs

CTAB: Canadian Technology Accreditation Board.

A list of CTAB-accredited programs in Alberta can be viewed here.  Only graduates from non-CTAB-accredited educational programs are required to complete the self-assessment, as CTAB-accredited programs have already been audited and found to be in compliance with the NTB. A list of CTAB-accredited programs throughout Canada is available on the CCTT website: www.cctt.ca

How to complete the Applicant Self-Assessment Form

The applicant self-assessment is based on the National Technology Benchmark (NTB) for academics.  The NTB is the minimum academic level for technologists as determined by the ASET Board of Examiners.  The self-assessment is an open, fair, and transparent process that allows the applicant to identify and provide evidence to demonstrate they meet the academic requirement of the NTB.  The self-assessment will be audited by the ASET Board of Examiners to determine if compliance has been achieved.  Only applicants from non-CTAB accredited educational programs are required to complete the self-assessment, as CTAB accredited programs have already been audited and found to be in compliance with the NTB.

The Applicant Self-Assessment form contains 4 sections, ABCD.  To complete the self-assessment select the 'Applicant Self-Assessment Form' for your discipline from the ASET web site and follow the directions below.

NOTE:

• DO NOT attempt to offer evidence of compliance for all the benchmark statements.
• DO NOT offer just one academic course as evidence of compliance with a benchmark statement.  It usually requires completing three or more courses (including prerequisites) to adequately meet a benchmark statement.
• Evidence of compliance with a benchmark statement can also be in the form of comprehensive work samples (e.g. detailed drawings, designs and reports) that are attested to by a professional to be the original work of the applicant.  The applicant must clearly identify which benchmark statement the comprehensive work sample applies to (use the Applicant Self-Assessment Evidence Cover Sheet).
• If the evidence of compliance is a comprehensive work sample that is a part of a large body of work that relates to more than one benchmark statement, clearly identify which components of the comprehensive work sample relate to each benchmark (use the Applicant Self-Assessment Evidence Cover Sheet).
• CET applicants will also be required to submit a technical report/thesis.
