TPS confers the professional post-nominal designations of C.Tech. (Certified Technician), and A.Sc.T. (Applied Science Technologist), which are symbols of achievement in applied science and engineering 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 professionals through the efforts of provincial associations of engineering technology.[citation needed]
The association is mandated and empowered by the "Saskatchewan Applied Science Technologists and Technicians Act".[1]
TPS is a member of Technology Professionals Canada,[2] which recognizes international transferability through the Sydney Accord and the Dublin Accords.
The Society of Engineering Technicians and Technologists of Saskatchewan (SETTS), was established in 1965.[citation needed] It changed its name to Saskatchewan Applied Science Technologists and Technicians,[when?] and later to Technology Professionals Saskatchewan in May 2019.[3]
Certified Applied Science Technologists are bound by a specific code of ethics and rules of professional conduct.[4]
