The Association of the Chemical Profession of Alberta (ACPA) is the regulatory body for chemical professionals in the province. Chemistry touches and interacts with every facet of our lives—petroleum, food, clothing, even the air we breathe. Because the work of a chemist is so crucial to public safety and environmental health, it is a profession that requires accountability.
Authorized by the Province of Alberta, the ACPA ensures that chemistry is practiced to the highest standards of competence and ethics. We are the gatekeepers of the Professional Chemist (P.Chem.) and Chemist in Training (C.I.T.) titles—titles that offer immediate assurance to government, industry, and the public that a scientist has the education and experience to be trusted.
Alberta’s chemical professionals uphold the public trust through the competent and ethical practice of chemistry.
The ACPA certifies chemical professionals who protect the interests of Albertans through the ethical practice of chemistry.
