After You Apply

After You Submit Your Application for Assessment 
After you submit your assessment application, the College will review your file in stages.

Step 1: Confirmation of receipt

• Within three business days, the College will email you to confirm that your assessment application has been received.

Step 2: Pay the application fee

• After you receive confirmation from the College, you must pay the application fee through the College Portal.
• Your assessment application will not move forward until this fee has been paid.

Step 3: Administrative review

• Within 15 business days after the application fee is paid, the College will complete an administrative review of your submission.
• This review is only to confirm that the required documents have been uploaded and that nothing appears to be missing. It is not a review of the content of your education, credentials, assessments, or professional experience.
• If required documents are missing or the wrong document has been uploaded, the College will contact you and explain what is needed.

Step 4: Pay the assessment fee

• Once the administrative review is complete, the College will send you an invoice for the assessment fee.
  • Your file will not be referred for assessment until the fee has been paid.

Step 5: Assessment review

• Within 15 business days after the assessment fee is paid, your file will be referred for assessment.
• The assessment team will review your education, professional experience, clinical practice, and other relevant information to determine whether your background meets Alberta MRT or DMS qualifications or whether additional steps are required.
• During the assessment process, the College may contact you for more information, clarification, or documents.
• Depending on the complexity of the assessment application, this process can take up to 6 months.

Step 6: Assessment outcome

• Once the assessment is complete, the College will provide you with an assessment outcome.
• Your assessment outcome will explain:
  • whether you are eligible to move forward in the registration process;
  • that you must complete the required certification exam;
  • any other requirements you must complete;
  • which registration pathway is available to you: Newly Certified or Provisional applicant
  • any next steps.
• An assessment outcome is not a registration decision, does not place you on a register, and does not authorize you to practice.
  • If you are eligible to proceed to registration, you must submit the required registration information and meet all practice permit requirements, including proof of professional liability insurance, a satisfactory criminal record check, payment of applicable fees, and any other requirements that apply.
