What's Online For You? Find Out Here

What specifically does the APEGGA website have to offer? Following is a brief description of the Association business you can conduct and the information you can find on-line at www.apegga.org, along with a few navigational hints.

Use the Member Self Service Centre......click here

Here you can renew your membership, update name and address, and update education, employment and professional development program report. There's a link on the APEGGA Home Page, the first page on the site. To log into the centre requires that you type in your entire member number (including the M), as well as the access code from your invoice or professional development forms.

Peruse the Membership Register and Permit-to-Practice Directory......click here

These searchable areas are linked under Members/Membership Register and are updated weekly. These are highly "hit" areas - a lot of site visitors go there often.

The areas are being upgraded for better and quicker results, and to allow an unlimited number of users in at the same time.

APEGGA's searchable membership register is provided as a service to Association members and the public. This easy-to-use database is intended to help identify the professional status of APEGGA members, as well as to provide other information that may be of use to individuals looking for the services of professional engineers and geoscientists.
