PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE EXAM:

What is the professional practice exam and why do I need it?

CTTAM, along with the other members of CCTT, is committed to the introduction of a Professional Practice examination as a requirement for certification.

The purpose of the Professional Practice Examination is to ensure that Technicians and Technologists are familiar with the Code of Ethics of CTTAM and The Certified Applied Science Technologists Act as well as other Acts of the legislature of the Province of Manitoba that may have impact directly on the certified members of the association including:

1. The Engineering and Geoscientific Professions Act
2. The Architects Act
3. The Land Surveyors Act
4. The Bylaws of CTTAM

Unethical conduct reflects adversely on all certified technicians and technologists. "One distinguishing feature of any profession is that membership in that profession entails an ethical obligation to temper one's selfish pursuit of economic success by adhering to standards of conduct that could not be enforced either by legal fiat or through the discipline of the market." Ethical decisions are not always obvious or easy. Ambiguity, incomplete information, points of view and conflicting objectives can make an ethical decision difficult. Written standards, codes of ethics and a well developed decision making process make these decisions easier.

The examination contains a variety of questions including True/False, Multiple Choice, Short Answer and Case Study.

The examination fee is included in the application fee. This covers the cost of a study guide as well as the costs of administering and assessing the examination.

Exams are written in the CTTAM Office.
