Abbreviated as A.Sc.T., some, but not all, Canadian provincial [[engineering]] and [[applied science]] technology associations offer this certification.

==Requirements for certification==

*Graduation from at least a three-year postsecondarypost secondary program in engineering or applied science technology approved by the [[Canadian Technology Accreditation Board]]

*Two years of engineering work experience in the field that certification is sought

*Completion of an application, work history and submission of professional references

==Right to use of title==

The title of A.Sc.T., which is used as a [[List of post-nominal letters|post-nominal]], is generally protected by provincial legislation. One cannot use the title or hold that one is aan Appliedapplied Sciencescience Technologisttechnologist unless so certified by a provincial body associated with the [[Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists]].

In some provinces this title may be replaced with [[Certifiedcertified Engineeringengineering Technologisttechnologist]] (CET), [[Registeredregistered Engineeringengineering Technologisttechnologist]] (RET), or more recently [[Professionalprofessional Technologisttechnologist]] (P.Tech) to more closely align with [[Professionalprofessional Engineerengineer]]s who use the title (P.Eng).

Internationally, transferability of this title is governed by the [[Sydney Accord]].
