How to use the Self-Assessment Tool

This self-assessment tool will allow you to compare details you enter about your academic training and your work experience as a geoscientist with typical requirements for professional registration in Canada.

IMPORTANT: It is not a formal assessment. A formal assessment can only occur by submitting a completed application and the application fee for professional registration to one of the regulators in Canada. This tool will only provide you with a preliminary indication of how your qualifications may compare to typical licensure requirements.

On clicking Create a new assessment - you will be automatically assigned a personal and private 5-digit code, then you can start the self-assessment.

On clicking Continue with a previous assessment - you will be asked to enter you existing 5-digit code and the tool will bring you immediately back to the point in the assessment where you left off previously.

If you need to go back some steps to add new information or to change information you have entered previously, simply click the back arrow or click on the title of the section you want to edit.

If you wish to quit a self-assessment and start a completely new one, just click Create a new assessment and begin again. If you have lost or forgotten your 5-digit code, you will have to go to Create a new assessment again and receive a new code. Lost or forgotten codes cannot be retrieved. So, it is important you make careful note of your code!
