How the APEGA Competency Based Assessment Works
The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta requires P.Eng applicants to complete a Competency Based Assessment covering 22 key competencies across categories such as technical competence, communication, project and financial management, team effectiveness, professional accountability, and social, economic and environmental responsibility. Each example is scored on a scale from 0 to 5, and your category averages must meet APEGA minimums.
Applicants typically need 48 months of acceptable engineering experience, including at least 12 months in a Canadian environment. Validators, usually your supervisors, confirm each example, so your writing must match what they are willing to verify.
