Ionizing and non-ionizing radiation sources are commonplace in our modern world and through understanding and management, provide significant benefits to all Canadians.
The Canadian Radiation Protection Association is a professional organization that supports the development and implementation of radiation safety programs in Canada.
The CRPA(R) designation is the highest level of competency recognized by the CRPA at the Canadian level. To attain the level of Registered Radiation Safety Professional (RRSP), members must demonstrate academic achievement and experience in the radiation field, and successfully complete an exam which is administered by the CRPA and is based on identified core competencies.
The next CRPA(R) exam will be held on Monday, June 3, 2024 in Edmonton (Enoch), Alberta at the CRPA 2024 Conference venue – the River Cree Resort and Casino.
There is an Exam Preparation course for members only available via the Professional Development Sessions page of the member’s website.
