Earn a Free CPP Credit as an Email Communications Tester

The CDTA is seeking registrants to give feedback on an updated approach to our email communications. 

Participants will review two examples of email messages, then meet with researchers to provide feedback. Participation is expected to take no more than an hour, and will take place entirely online. 

In exchange for your time, you’ll receive a certificate of participation that can be uploaded to your CDTA.ca account for 1 hour of Continuing Competence Program (CCP) credit. A credit will be earned by every registrant who participates in testing, even if you have already taken part in a research activity this year! 

Ready to take part? Schedule your feedback session now! 

More about this project 

In the last few months, the CDTA has been working with independent researchers from Onlea to improve communication with registrants. 

Dental technology professionals play a key role in ensuring Albertans receive safe and high-quality care. So far we’ve spoken to many of you about how we support you in that role, and what we can do better. 

We’ve learned that for many, email communications are an essential source of information, but also have a lot of room for improvement. In response, we are testing a new approach to emails with great focus on reader-friendly templates, actionable topics, and plain language. 

A huge thank you to everyone who has participated so far! Registrant feedback is essential to making the CDTA better and your feedback has greatly informed the approach we are now testing.

The College of Dental Technologists of Alberta (CDTA), in partnership with the Canadian Alliance of Dental Technology Regulators (CADTR), is pleased to announce an exciting Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of a modular, single-discipline Performance-Based Assessment (PBA). 

This project marks a significant step toward modernizing licensure pathways in dental technology and creating a more accessible, fair, and modular certification system. 

The successful proponent will lead the design, pilot, and implementation of a psychometrically sound and legally defensible PBA model aligned with CADTR’s National Essential Entry-to-Practice Competencies and Alberta’s legislated framework for Dental Technicians.
