Before an applicant can be registered by APEGM for the first time, if they are not already registered by another recognized association, they must prove that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to become a Professional Engineer or Geoscientist in Manitoba.
The Pre-Registration program of APEGM is also known as the Experience Review program, the MIT program, or the EIT/GIT program. We use the term Member-in-Training (MIT) to refer to both Engineers-in-training (EITs) and Geoscientists-in-training (GITs).
Applicants who have graduated with a Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) accredited degree from a Canadian university are eligible to apply to the Pre-Registration program as soon as they graduate.
All others, including domestic and internationally-trained geoscientists, internationally-trained engineering graduates (whether or not they have a post-graduate from a Canadian University), and those with related engineering or geoscience degrees must start with an Academic Assessment. Only after the academic assessment is completed are these individuals eligible to apply to the Pre-Registration program.
For additional background and information you should review this presentation on the pre-registration program, this flowchart illustrating the MIT enrollment process, and this flowchart illustrating the actual pre-registration program process.
To start the process:
Complete applications must arrive at the APEGM office at least two weeks prior to the next Registration Committee meeting to be considered at that meeting. Contact the Registration Coordinator for the cut-off date of the next RC meeting. The Registration Committee meets once per month, typically around the end of the month.
The Admissions Process is based on the principle that engineering and geoscience work experience comprises the application of the principles of engineering or geoscience learned during the education process.
APEGM requires that a person obtain at least four years' acceptable work experience, normally subsequent to academic qualification, to be eligible for registration. There are some exceptions for Pre-Grad Time. Sometimes greater than 4 years is required if the work is not deemed to be of sufficiently high quality or does not show progression.
Essentially, you will be required to submit Progress Reports, and claim for a certain amount of time doing Volunteer Service and continuing Professional Development. Your reports should be commented on by your Supervisor and will be reviewed by the Experience Review Commitee (ERC) and awarded experience credit based on your progress.
Current program requirements:
You will receive feedback from the ERC after each review.
Towards the end of your program, you will be requested to provide professional references to vouch for your engineering/geoscience work experience and professionalism. You will also be required to pass the National Professional Practice Exam (PPE).
Note: You should keep copies of all progress reports you submit to APEGM since they may facilitate registration in other associations should you choose. APEGM will not forward progress reports, references, or other documentation besides the basic confirmation of registration to other associations.
The Registration Coordinator is responsible for receiving MIT applications and PPTs, and providing secretariat to the Registration Committee who review all new applications to APEGM and are responsible for enrolling you in the MIT program.
After you are accepted into the MIT program, the Admissions Coordinator will assist you if you have any questions pertaining to your particular situation or the rules of the MIT program itself. The Admissions Coordinator provides secretariat to the Experience Review Committee (ERC) who will review, approve, and make recommendations regarding your Progress Reports.
