Looking for an Alberta OT for SEAS Work
All internationally educated occupational therapists (IEOTs) who wish to work as an OT in Canada must first complete the Substantial Equivalency Assessment System (SEAS) Program. SEAS is a single centralized process for the assessment of educational qualifications and competencies of IEOTs. SEAS determines whether the education and competencies are substantially equivalent to Canadian-educated OTs. See the ACOTRO website for more information about SEAS.
The Substantial Equivalency Assessment System (SEAS) process includes use of a Jurisprudence Knowledge Assessment Test (JKAT). Work is underway to update components of the JKAT. If you are interested in participating in this work, please refer to the JKAT Blueprint Development description and to JKAT Item Writing description for information and contact details.
Continuing Competence Program (CCP) Quick Support Series
Do you need a quick refresher on your annual Registration Renewal? Would you like to know why you must complete the CCP? Or do you need guidance on how to edit your profile? Or how to add a Learning Activity Record? Are you limited in time and want a targeted session that is 15 minutes in length?
Please join ACOT staff for a 15-minute CCP Support Series sessions. One of the 4 focused sessions will be offered daily until the registration renewal deadline. The schedule will be updated weekly. No need to pre-register – find the link under the Continuing Competence tab, CCP Resources, then click on the session day/time that works for you when you’re ready to join.
