Under Alberta's Occupational Health and Safety Code [pdf], employers must provide initial (baseline) and follow-up audiometric testing for workers exposed to excess noise at the work site. These audiometric tests must be administered by an audiometric technician who works in consultation with a physician, audiologist, or occupational health nurse designated by the employer.
To be certified as an audiometric technician in Alberta, you need to complete an audiometric technician training course approved by the Government of Alberta.
You must recertify every 5 years.
For details about certification requirements, contact the Government of Alberta or visit the Government of Alberta website.
Audiometric technicians who are certified by and in good standing with a regulatory body elsewhere in Canada may be eligible for certification in Alberta.
For more information, see What if I am already certified in another province or territory in Canada? and the Government of Alberta website.
The certification information in this profile may change at any time and without notice. Before making any career decisions, we advise you to contact the regulatory organization or visit their website for the most updated information.
