Self Evaluation

You can perform a useful self-evaluation of your educational credentials at the Technologist or Technician level by comparing your educational outcomes with those published for your discipline(s) under the National Technology Benchmarks. This collection of “Outcomes” and the accompanying possible prerequisite topics (‘Elements of Performance, Such As...’), reflects the profession’s view of the topics covered by technology education programs in Canada, to both the Certificate and Diploma of Technology levels. They were generated through a collaboration between the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists (CCTT) and the National Council of Deans of Technology (NCDoT), and graduates of programs accredited by the CTAB to these benchmarks will have a minimum of five of the Outcomes from any of the disciplines or combination of disciplines. In addition, Technologists will have had to demonstrate a clear and proven ability to research and write comprehensive technical reports, as explained in the CCTT National Technology Benchmark.

When you apply to ASTTBC, if you haven’t graduated from a CTAB-accredited program with a Diploma of Technology, your educational credentials will be assessed against the NTB, so by performing this self-assessment, you can get a good indication how your education compares with the requirements for Canadian graduates.
