Your Path to Designation is comprised of a rigid university-level education program known as the AIC Program of Professional Studies which is administered by our primary education partner, the University of British Columbia; set periods of mentored experience under a fully designated member of the Institute; and a written examination followed by an oral interview. The education component of the path also includes AIC's mandatory Professional Practice Seminar and our introductory We Value Canada online workshop. The pages in the Path to Designation section of the web site outline these requirements in complete detail.

Your provincial association or affiliated provincial organization is your primary point of contact on your path to designation. They are available to answer your questions and assist in ensuring that you meet all of the required deadlines throughout the process. The classroom version of AIC's mandatory 2-day Professional Practice Seminar is also offered by these provincial organizations on a regular basis.
