1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 About AOLS
The Association of Ontario Land Surveyors (AOLS) was established in 1892 and is a self- governing association responsible for the licensing and governance of professional Land Surveyors in accordance with the Surveyors Act. Individuals seeking to practice cadastral (legal
boundary) surveying in Ontario must hold a licence issued by the AOLS.
All individuals who wish to become registered in the province, must complete a minimum of
18 months of training and experience in professional land surveying. This is done by means of an Articling Contract with an Ontario Land Surveyor/Ontario Land Information Professional. The Articling Contract requires that the applicant become competent in 14 Core Competencies and 26 associated outcomes. A description of the Core Competencies can be found here. This requirement is intended to ensure that prospective licensees can work safely and ethically in a practical setting before being allowed to practice independently.
However, experienced professionals (domestic out-of-province or internationally educated) may be eligible for exemption or reduction of the Articling requirement. Eligibility and program details are provided below.
1.2 The Purpose
The guide is intended for domestic and internationally trained professionals (ITPs) who:
• Meet eligibility requirements described in section 2.1,
• Have work experience in land surveying, and
• Are seeking exemption for the Articling requirement.
The purpose of this document is to assist the Applicants with submission and assessment of work experience, as well as to provide instructions and overview of the roles and responsibilities of the Applicants, Validators and Assessors. In addition, it describes the AOLS competencies, scoring rubric and the overall assessment process.
2.0 ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES
The following is an overview of roles and responsibilities of each participant involved in the assessment process.
2.1 Applicants
Applicants are domestically and internationally trained individuals who have previous work experience in land surveying and meet the following criteria:
• Canadian citizens or have the status of a permanent resident of Canada,
• Have completed a baccalaureate-level program (or equivalent), approved by the AOLS Academic and Experience Requirements Committee (AERC),
• Meet language proficiency requirements.
• Have:
(a) at least 225 working days of practical experience in the student’s chosen branch of
professional surveying in Ontario of which period at least 150 working days is field
2 | P a g e
experience at the Party Chief level or higher in cadastral surveying, or its equivalent in another branch; and
(b) at least 113 working days experience in the management and administration of professional surveying, completed to the satisfaction of the Academic and Experience Requirements Committee. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 1026, s. 23 (4); O. Reg. 327/12, s. 6 (2, 3).
Note: This pathway is intended for applicants seeking reduction or exemption from the Articling component only. Applicants, who successfully pass the work experience assessment, are also required to pass a series of professional exams administered by AOLS to become licensed land surveyors in Ontario.
Applicants are responsible for:
• Providing evidence of previous work experience and completing a self-assessment.
• Assigning Validators for each competency.
• Providing contact information for Validator(s) to verify, rate and provide feedback on their assigned competencies.
• Providing further information or additional evidence, as requested.
2.2 Validators
Validators are individuals who act as a professional reference and confirm the work experience evidence submitted by the Applicant. They must have direct, first-hand knowledge of the Applicant’s work (must be during the period being validated) and be a supervisor, manager, mentor, client or colleague. Family members and relatives are normally not accepted as Validators.
It is expected that Applicants will provide at least three (3) Validators, one of whom is a professional land surveyor. AOLS may request information to support the Validator’s designation and credentials. Acceptability of the Validator is at the discretion of AOLS.
Validators are responsible for:
• Reviewing and validating that they have witnessed or supervised the work information provided by the Applicant.
• Rating each assigned competency.
• Providing overall feedback on the Applicant’s competence and Applicant’s self- assessment score.
• Providing their professional designation and credentials, if required.
Validators may also be asked additional feedback questions based on their professional relationship with the applicant.
2.3 Assessors
Assessors are AOLS staff who review, assess and determine if work experience evidence submitted by the Applicant is valid and meets the requirements.
Assessors are responsible for:
3 | P a g e
• Reviewing Applicant’s submissions, including Applicant’s resume and relevant
documentation.
• Reviewing Validators’ feedback.
• Scoring each competency and associated work experience evidence based on the established Rating Scale.
3.0 COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT
A “competency” is defined as the ability to perform and assume specific tasks, roles and responsibilities of a professional land surveyor. A total of 26 competencies (also known as “Outcomes”) are grouped into 14 categories (also known as Core Competencies) and represent the areas in which an Applicant must have experience in to practice safely and competently.
Refer to Appendix A for a detailed list of all competencies.
3.1 Work Experience Evidence
Work Experience Evidence consists of activities, actions, skills or behaviours that successfully demonstrate the possession of a specific competency. The Applicant must provide relevant and accurate evidence from their professional land surveying which will be confirmed by Validator(s).
The Applicant is responsible for reviewing each competency and the guidelines provided to identify suitable and relevant previous work experience examples. The Applicant does not need to demonstrate all workplace examples, nor are the examples provided the only types of evidence accepted. Workplace examples have been provided as a guide to the type of evidence the assessors may be seeking.
Only one example is required for each competency. In some cases, it may be appropriate to use the same example for more than one competency.
Applicants are encouraged to exercise judgement over the level of detail provided with different examples. The objective is to supply sufficient information to enable straightforward verification of evidence, and not to leave Assessors with substantive questions or information gaps that require further investigation. Assessors cannot guess or rely on ‘implied evidence’ – they can only use evidence that clearly shows an Applicant is able to do the things stated in
the competency. As a result, it is important to identify specific examples that best demonstrate competence, knowledge, and abilities.
It is recommended that each Work Experience Evidence includes the following information:
• A brief description of a specific example (Note: The same example can be used to cover more than one competency.
• The actions taken in response to the situation, including professional judgements and resolutions made.
• The outcome/resolution of the specific situation due to the actions taken by the
Applicant.
4 | P a g e
• The name and contact information of the Validator who can confirm the accuracy of the example provided.
Refer to Appendix A for a detailed list of workplace examples for each competency.
3.2 Rating Scale
The Rating Scale is used to determine whether an Applicant has the required level of competence. It measures the overall level of competence and the capacity to handle situations. Each Work Experience Evidence will be scored on a scale of 0 through 5, based on
the established Rating Scale. Refer to Appendix B for a detailed description of the Rating Scale.
A successful Applicant must meet the following requirements:
• Must attain a minimum rating of one (1) for each competency.
• Must attain an average score of 3 or higher for 12 categories.
Refer to Appendix B for the minimum required average rating level per category.
3.3 Assessment of Evidence
All participants, including the Applicant, Validators and Assessors, will provide ratings at different stages of the assessment process:
• The Applicant will provide a self-assessment rating for each of the competencies.
• The Validator will review the Applicant’s self-assessment rating and confirm or adjust the score based on their first-hand knowledge of the Applicant’s competence (for the assigned competencies). The Validator will provide rationale for any recommended adjustments.
• The Assessors’ rating will be based on a review of the Work Experience Evidence and will consider, but not be dependent upon, the ratings of the Applicant and Validators.
When assigning a score for each competency, the Applicant, Validators and Assessors are asked to consider the following:
• The level of complexity of the task shown in the work experience example.
• The level of supervision provided in the Applicant’s performance of the task.
• The level of risk associated with the example provided.
• The level of relevance/applicability to the competency.
4.0 THE EVALUATION PROCESS
The following summarizes the assessment of an applicant’s professional work experience
seeking exemption from the Articling component: Acronyms:
• SS - Senior Staff

Validators’ submissions and assess each work example based on the scoring rubric
6 | P a g e
and/or request additional evidence if required. If the Assessors have contradicting assessment results, a third Assessor or an Interview Panel can be used to review them to determine a final decision.
14. Once the Applicant’s file is assessed, a Competency-Based Assessment Report (CBAR)
highlighting the outcomes of the assessment is sent to the AERC for review.
15. Based on the CBAR, the AERC determines the following:
a. That the Applicant is eligible to write the professional exams.
b. That gaps exist in the applicant’s experience and the following remediation
options are available:
i. If the gaps are small, the applicant can complete assignments in those core competency areas.
ii. If the gaps are significant, the applicant can consider entering an articling contract or obtaining additional experience outside of Ontario.
16. The applicant is notified of the results of the CBAR by AOLS staff.
17. The applicant can resubmit their application for review once they have completed the remediation options subject to any additional fees.
