01What is PaceTracker?
One record for an engineering career in Alberta: a Competency Log while you prepare the P.Eng. application, a CPD Record under APEGA's PACE program once you are licensed, and Teams for permit holders who cover seats for their professionals. One account, stored in Canada (Montréal).
02Is PaceTracker affiliated with APEGA?
No. PaceTracker is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by APEGA, and it never sends anything to APEGA: you declare your CPD in myAPEGA and submit your application in the CBAT yourself. APEGA, myAPEGA and the CBAT are named only to describe what the tool helps you document.
03What happens to my record when I get licensed?
You keep the same account. You declare your licence from the Account page, your Competency Log stays as a read-only archive, and you set up your CPD record under APEGA's PACE program from your renewal date.
04Where is my data stored?
In Canada (Montréal), for all three records, evidence files included. Reminder and setup emails are blind: they say a date is approaching or a step is waiting, and never contain your records.
05Does AI write anything for me?
No. PaceTracker uses no AI model, and your records are not sent to one. You write your plan, your activities and your competency examples yourself; the optional guided builder for CPD explanations only puts your own answers together by fixed rules.
06What happens to my records if my subscription ends?
Nothing is deleted. Until paid subscriptions start everything is free. After that, an expired subscription only stops creating and editing in the paid features: every record stays readable and exportable, and deleting your account and data stays in your hands.
07I work outside Alberta. Can I use PaceTracker?
PaceTracker is built for Alberta and APEGA first. British Columbia (EGBC) is next; for the other provinces you can join the waitlist on this page, and we email you once when PaceTracker opens there. If you report your CPD to another province's regulator, the CPD Record page explains how that interacts with APEGA.
08Can P.Tech. professionals use PaceTracker?
PaceTracker documents CPD under APEGA's PACE framework, which applies to APEGA-registered professionals. Until the transfer to APEGA — expected March 2027 — professional technologists remain under ASET's requirements. Our P.Tech. transfer guide explains what changes, what stays the same, and how to get a note when the transfer lands.
