How to Log Your APEGS Work Hours Step by Step?

To become a licensed engineer in Saskatchewan, you need to finish the APEGS work experience reporting. This process confirms you've got enough supervised, hands-on experience. It also shows you can use what you learned in school on actual projects. Logging hours may seem tricky initially, but it gets easy once you get how it. This guide offers a step-by-step explanation of the APEGS experience reporting.


Step 1: Know the APEGS CBA System

The APEGS system uses a Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) approach. Your experience is assessed based on how well it fits APEGS' standards. Instead of just recording hours, you need to give examples of how your work reaches each competency.

Your APEGS CBA report needs to have both a list of your hours and written examples. These examples should show your ability to solve problems, handle risks, and act ethically as an engineer.

Step 2: Establish Your Reporting Account

Begin by logging into your APEGS online account. Access the APEGS experience reporting portal, where you'll document your work hours and examples.

Create your profile and input your job history, ensuring job titles and dates align with official records. Assessors will examine these details for accuracy.

Step 3:You need to keep a Consistent Record of Your Work Hours

To ensure accuracy and save time, update your APEGS work experience report frequently rather than waiting until the end of the year.

Log your hours weekly or monthly, noting the projects you worked on, your contributions, and your supervisor. Maintain thorough records of these details.

Step 4: Link Work Hours to Competencies

The APEGS CBA asks that you show proof for each skill. When logging hours, link them to the right skills in the system. For instance, if you planned a structure, connect it to the technical skill area.

The system will show you where your hours fit best. Use descriptions that are easy to understand. Focus on your own work, not the whole team's work.

Step 5: Provide Clear Examples

For each skill, include brief examples in your APEGS CBA report. These examples should state the task performed, your specific role, and the outcome. Use straightforward language and active voice when writing.

For instance, I checked design drawings for a retaining wall. I found mistakes and fixed them before building began. This led to better safety and lower costs.
