The 22 APEGA competencies, one page each
APEGA assesses a P.Eng. applicant’s work experience through 22 competencies in six categories. Each page below says what the competency covers in our words, its category and minimum average, the minimum where APEGA publishes one, and how to document it with a Situation, Actions and Outcome example. The full process is in Guide 04.
Self-ratings are your own assessment; only APEGA's Board of Examiners assesses competencies.
