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

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.
