| Abstract: The Canadian Evaluation Society launched the Credentialed Evaluator (CE) professional designation program in May 2010 at the CES Annual Conference in Victoria. The Professional Designation Program (PDP) was developed to define, recognize and, promote the practice of ethical, high quality and competent evaluation in Canada. The designation means that the holder has provided evidence of education and experience required to be a competent evaluator. The designation is a service provided by CES to its members, who may elect to become credentialed on a voluntary basis. It recognizes those with the education and experience to provide evaluation services, and through its maintenance and renewal requirements, promotes continuous learning within our evaluation community. In the demonstration you will visit the web-based application site for the CES Credentialed Evaluator (CE) designation, which is also used by the Credentialing Board to review the submitted application and for CE to record their designation maintenance requirements. |
