Shedding Light on the CES Credentialed Evaluator Designation

Shedding Light on the CES Credentialed Evaluator Designation

Organization: CES-Manitoba
Highlights Calendar Icon Event Date: 2023-04-25

The Canadian Evaluation Society’s (CES) Credentialed Evaluator (CE) designation is designed to support professionalization of evaluation by defining, recognizing and promoting the practice of ethical, high quality and competent evaluation. To obtain the CE designation, CES members go through an application process where they provide evidence that they have mastery in at least 70% of the competencies in each of five domains (reflective practice, technical practice, situational practice, management practice, interpersonal practice).

This 45-minute webinar, presented by Linda Lee, will;

  • provide a brief history of the CE designation,
  • address the benefits of obtaining a CE,
  • explain the process,
  • provide tips on how to be successful in your application, and
  • respond to questions about the CE designation and the application process.

The session will be of interest both to those thinking of applying for a CE and those already experiencing the application process. It will be recorded in order to make it widely available to Manitoba CES members in the future.
