THE CERTIFICATION EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT
(c) at least five years in a position of major responsibility, or a senior technical position of responsibil- ity.”
The CIM Definition Standards note that determination of relevant experi- ence is a difficult to specifically define but that exercise of common sense will gen- erally provide a clear answer. Adoption of a ‘responsible position’ requirement can be expected to generate questions and possibly difficult decisions on mar- ginal Certification applications for the National Screening Committee each year. But requests for further informa- tion about at position’s responsibilities and common sense should generally resolve the questions.
Because the SME’s Registered Member requirements and Companion Policy 43-101CP state that at least 3 years in a position of responsibility is required, the ad hoc Committee’s report recommended to the National Executive Committee that the experience require- ment for AIPG Certification be changed to require 3 years of experience in a position of responsibility. The current experience requirement provides that 3 years (36 months) of experience may be
earned through completion of a doctor- ate degree, effectively requiring 5 years of professional experience after gradu- ation. The recommended 3 years in a position of responsibility is not incon- sistent with the grant of experience for graduate degrees and does reflect that geoscientists are not normally given full positions of responsibility when they enter the practicing profession; some additional experience is normally required, although this period will be less for those having a doctorate degree.
