The title of A.Sc.T., which is used as a post-nominal, is generally protected by provincial legislation. One cannot use the title or hold that one is an applied science technologist 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 certified engineering technologist (CET), registered engineering technologist (RET), or more recently professional technologist (P.Tech) to more closely align with professional engineers who use the title (P.Eng). Internationally, transferability of this title is governed by the Sydney Accord. ==See also==
