The College of Dental Technologists of Alberta (CDTA), with the support of Alberta Health and Wellness, has developed a comprehensive Competency Profile for dental technologists and technicians. The Competency Profile is a detailed and specific description of the knowledge, skills, behaviours and critical judgments inherent in this profession.

We build smiles one at a time!

The Competency Profile is the foundational component for the Dental Technologists' Continuing Competence Program (CCP). This Program is a system of assessing, maintaining and monitoring the ongoing competencies of the profession. It is a way of ensuring a high level of expertise, competence and appropriate ethics in performing the job.

The Alberta Health Professions Act (2000) requires that all regulated health professions have a responsible, accountable and formal means of assessing and reporting on the continuing competence of their members. All health professions are required to establish a Continuing Competence Program, to set up a Competence Committee, and report to Alberta Health and Wellness.

This CDTA Competency Management System was developed and implemented to assist dental technologists / technicians in Alberta comply with requirements of the Continuing Competence Program. Using this website, dental technologists can complete their annual self assessments and learning plans online. Additional information and resources are provided so that this process can be done easily and effectively.

To access the various CCP components, members please login using your CDTAcms username and password. If you have any problems, please see CDTAcms Help or contact the webmaster using the Contact Us form.
