The Certified Technicians and Technologists Association of Manitoba (CTTAM) is a regulated profession in Manitoba responsible for certifying engineering/applied science technicians and technologists. The Certified Applied Science Technologists Act assented on June 29, 1998.
CTTAM confers the post-nominal designations of C.Tech. (certified technician), and C.E.T. (certified engineering technologist) which are symbols of achievement in engineering/applied science technology and are legally protected for use only by fully certified members in good standing. The designations are recognized across Canada by many employers and other engineering professionals through the efforts of provincial associations that make up the Technology Professionals Canada (TPC). Technology Professional Canada (TPC) being a signatory to the International Engineering Alliance (IEA), the Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists Association of Manitoba recognizes international transferability through the Sydney Accord, the Dublin Accord and the Engineering Technology Mobility Forum, which confers the ability to award the designation IntET (Canada) for Technologists who wish to work internationally.
The Certified Technicians and Technologists Association of Manitoba, under the name Manitoba Certified Technicians and Technologists (MANCETT), was established in 1965.
Certified engineering technologists are bound by a specific code of ethics and rules of professional conduct.[1]
The association is mandated and empowered by the Certified Applied Science Technologists Act of Manitoba[2]
Although certification is voluntary, some employers will require it.[3]
