Why renew your ASTTBC registration?
Maintaining your ASTTBC registration supports professional recognition and accountability. Employers and the public benefit from professionals who demonstrate competence and are accountable to a professional regulator.

The anticipated establishment of reserved practice for technologists and technicians in British Columbia will further strengthen the value of professional registration. Once established, certain work will be reserved for qualified technologists and technicians, and ASTTBC registration will be required to legally perform that work.

Renewing your registration ensures you remain registered and prepared for these changes.

Renewal also confirms your commitment to professional standards, ethics and public protection and provides continued access to ASTTBC practice support, professional development, CPD resources and other registrant benefits.

Non-practising status allows you to remain an ASTTBC registrant while indicating that you are not actively practising. When you are ready to return to practice, you can apply to resume practising status in accordance with ASTTBC’s requirements.
