We cannot say, a priori, what kind of cross-recognition would exist. It is up to our expert/stakeholder committee to decide the competency criteria for the professional certification and what categories of certification will be developed. We will work towards cross-recognition, but only to the degree that quality and rigor is not compromised. We cannot predict at this stage that the committee will agree with what CSA has set up. The committee is global in composition and our working framework is that we have to ensure a high degree of competency.

And, as Dean of our educational programs, I am not involved in this committee process, as we must maintain a firewall between our training programs and professional certification programs. But you can find out more here:
