This PLAR pathway is an opportunity to have your skills, knowledge, and competencies, gained through on-the-job experience and informal learning, recognized as steps toward professional registration. It can also help identify any additional training you may need to advance your career in dental technology.
The PLAR pathway acknowledges what you already know and do, helping you:
- Move toward becoming a licensed professional
- Gain formal recognition for your experience
- Explore new opportunities for career advancement
The deadline for applications for the PLAR pilot closed on January 31, 2026. The PLAR pilot is designed to help us test and improve the pathway before it’s formally integrated into the registration system. Stay tuned for updates on our progress and formal launch date.
