How does APEGA Evaluate your Engineering Work Experience?

of your employment positions, your responsibilities and experience. For each WRVL you will include in your application, the name of the employer, the position you held, and the country the work was performed must be clearly indicated. The start and end date of each of your experiences is also important because this will form part of the minimum 48 months of engineering experience.

Each Experience you list must be supported by a Validator and a Reference. Writing your Engineering Experience must address the 22 competencies and examples must be specific and gain scores to which competency it applies. Avoid using routine/daily job descriptions of what you do in your work. The example must be very technical in nature.

Your work experience history must be verified in two ways: References confirm that you were employed for a given period and position, and validators review and score the competencies that you have claimed for that position.

validators for your application. You must provide at least three validators who can rate and validate the indicators that you provide for each of the 22 key competencies.

Colleagues or mentors that you did not directly work with do not qualify to be validators, because validators need to have taken technical responsibility for your work.

If your validator is not registered with an engineering regulatory body in another Canadian jurisdiction, please identify the following their Professional designation and the Country of Registration.

You need at least one reference for each employer you have worked for. A reference can also be a validator.

There are many APEGA Applicant who have refused or deferred their Professional Registration because of inaccurate and vague description of their work experience. As I always mentioned in my past articles, the correct examples and accurate description of your job with regard to which among the 22 Competencies it addresses must be very clearly justified.

Below is an exact outline and procedure of how APEGA will evaluate your Engineering Experience. Take note, that this process will start only once you’ve submitted your Work Experience Record in the procedure as outlined in the Competency Base Assessment Tool. You must complete your Work Record Validator List (WRVL) in a chronological overview of your experience which includes the details

Paradox, by the way, is a statement that seems to contradict itself, or seems to go against itself, but may contain a basic or underlying truth when examined more closely. A paradox may be thought of as working against common sense but seems to be true or state a truth. (Oxford Dictionary)

Politics and political irony: Uniting or Dividing?

Political Parties’ hidden agenda are coated with their propaganda. They have already exposed their supposed platform through campaign paraphernalia filled with heavenly promises making people believe each of them has the capability to face and solve unique problems and circumstances.

*Any validator who is not a P.Eng. should explain how they are a senior practitioner in engineering. This may include providing their engineering qualification (engineering degree and professional designation).

Failure to provide an appropriate validator could result in your application being deferred or refused.

A validator is a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) who took technical responsibility for your work. Validators will be asked to review your selfassessment and provide a score and commentary for each competency that was assigned. Validators will also be asked to provide overall feedback about your suitability and readiness for registration.

A validator must have first-hand knowledge of the examples you provide and be able to comment on the quality and competency of your work. Supervisors, mentors, managers, colleagues, or clients are all possible

Well, voters like some religious men, keep on going to the church and pray with the hope that their Lord will rise from the dead to save them from all personal and social catastrophic phenomena like poverty, debt, sickness, homelessness, economic slavery, domestic violence, harassment and discrimination, etc.

The sad thing is the fact that they are believing devoid of or even without understanding. They are disorientated. Voters go to the polling places to cast their votes devoid of the knowledge and understanding about the political party’s philosophy, ideals and ideology. Without even the knowledge of who to elect. So, why are they there? I know that you know the reason why, and that is, to merely exercise the freedom of suffrage and some are perhaps just being influenced by their friends to vote. They were maybe told to just go out and vote!

This is my wish: May this May 29, 2023 provincial election be the start of a new era. Voters have to be well-informed, orientated, and educated about the whats, whys, and hows of politics and good governance. It is only then that the quality of life in the society will be enhanced. As Dr. Jose Rizal, one of the Philippines’ National heroes said, “Por la educacion recibe lustre la patria.” Which means, “Through education the country receives light.” Moreover, Soren Kierkegaard also once said, “ It is better to be a participator rather than spectator.”

By ignoring all the golden maxims, words of wisdom, tenets, and codes of conduct being mentioned, our dreams, aspirations, and expectations will never go in the right direction. They will remain as they were. They will just be similar to a situation where one just keeps yelling and complaining that there is a dirty glass in the kitchen sink yet showing no initiative, willingness, nor action to wash it.

By taking all those for granted, people or the society will just be living in desire. Ambition will remain ambition—an ambition without action is like a boat on dry land.

A reference is a person who can confirm your position and the duration of your experience with a company. This person can be your manager, a colleague, or a human resources staff member. Your reference does not need to have technical knowledge of your work and does not need to have been your direct supervisor.

Do not submit your Work Record Validator List without writing your work experience in the CompetencyBased Assessment Tool (CBAT). You must first complete the Competency Based Self Assessment and rate yourself. This will improve your writing of Experiences and will gain a favorable result when you eventually submit your WRVL.
