Seeking Volunteers to review Professional Standards Board PLAR Applications

The Professional Standards Board relies on the support of volunteers to achieve its mandate and effectively administer our certification and accreditation services. Due to increased interest in certification, we are seeking volunteers to assist in the evaluation of applications through the Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) route. PLAR applicants do not have a degree from an accredited planning program, but have at minimum an undergraduate degree and five years of experience in responsible planning.

 If you are interested in volunteering in this role, please contact Nzinga Brown, Certification Manager, at [email protected]. Please review our Help the Profession document (attached) for more details about this and other PSB volunteer opportunities. Your commitment to advancing the profession is greatly appreciated. We look forward to hearing from you!
