TPBC AStatement on Accreditation
The TPBCA Board has approved a statement on accreditation as a way to define TPBCA's understanding of accreditation and the benefits that flow from accreditation for all stakeholders.
The Statement includes a TPBCA Position: "TPBCA believes accreditation of engineering and applied science technology education programs is a necessary element of a professional regulatory framework and strongly encourages all eligible technology programs to achieve accreditation."
"This Statement will serve as a foundation for a future TPBCA review by TPBCA of accreditation activities in BC and to help frame discussions with BC's post-secondary institutions", said TPBCA CEO John Leech. "Most technology programs have achieved accreditation by Technology Accreditation Canada, the national body acknowledged by the TPBCA Board as the primary authority for the accreditation of engineering and applied science technology programs in BC. But some technology programs have not as yet achieved accreditation, in which case TPBCA will reach out to institutions to discuss their intentions.
