Institutions submitting a program for approval may be required to provide a program evaluation.
Designated/interim designated institutions applying for approval of a Class A program must submit a program evaluation unless the registrar has informed the institution that an evaluation, or certain elements of the evaluation, is not required.
The registrar may also require a program evaluation from a registered institution who submits a Class A program for approval, a designated/interim designated institution who submits a Class B or Class C program for approval, or an institution who submits a program change that requires approval.
It is the responsibility of the institution to pay for the program evaluation.
The registrar may appoint subject matter experts (SME) as inspectors.
SMEs and program evaluators must have expertise in career occupations that are relevant to the program of instruction. They must not receive any benefit from the institution, other than the payment from the evaluation, nor be a related party.
The Private Training Institutions Branch (PTIB) has approved the SMEs listed below. These SMEs made submissions to the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills through BC Bid. The list will be updated as PTIB approves SMEs.
Institutions may select any of the pre-approved SMEs to complete a program evaluation as long as the SME has expertise in career occupations that are relevant to the program submitted for approval.
You should first contact PTIB to confirm the SME is qualified to review the program you are submitting for approval. If the list does not include an appropriate SME, or if you want to hire a program evaluator that is not included in the list, please contact PTIB to confirm the program evaluator has relevant expertise to prepare a program evaluation.
For more information, see the Guidelines for Subject Matter Experts and Program Evaluators, or Chapter 2 of the Private Training Act Policy Manual.
