If you were required to complete coursework, ask the post-secondary institution(s) where you completed your coursework to send your transcript to us.

If you were required to take a language proficiency test, ask the testing centre to send your test results to us.

Certificate of Qualification

If you believe you meet the requirements based on the new Certification Standards, please email trb.certification@gov.bc.ca.

After we review your email, we will provide you with a list of documents that you will need to send us. We will need the documents to re-evaluate your qualifications under the Certification Standards. Because some documents expire after one year, we may ask you for updated documents. After we review the updated documents, we may ask you for more documents before we can issue a certificate.
