Registration Benefits and Application

Professional registration publicly acknowledges your experience, skills, and other qualifications.  It captures relevant on-the-job experience and captures your level of competence as a registrant. Registration also demonstrates your commitment to integrity, your regard for public interest and your responsibility for others.
