• Registration is not granted – the applicant does not currently meet the requirements for registration and is not eligible to become a practicing member of the NSCC at this time.  The applicant may be eligible to become registered at a later time, after fulfilling certain requirements or addressing gaps in their training and/or skills.  

NOTE: Successful applicants will be granted conditional registration pending a Peer Assessment evaluation during their initial 12 months of practice. Full registration will be subject to successful completion of the Peer Assessment Evaluation.
