Articulation Agreements in Canada: User Guide
Last June, the Canadian Alliance of Education and Training Organizations
(CAETO) mailed copies of Articulation Agreements in Canada: User Guide. This
document is a practical guide for negotiating agreements for recognizing
programs, courses, professional qualifications or a block of courses, so that
learners can move between education or training programs without having to
repeat portions of their previous studies and learning.
An assessment of the impact of the Guide will be conducted from March to May
2005.
