Becoming a CAOT Provisional Associate (PA):
To become a CAOT Provisional Associate, you are required to pre-pay for your first full calendar year of membership fees and insurance, effective after successfully completing the NOTCE. There are two different options for you to pre-pay for your membership and insurance.
- If you are interested in the NOTCE Study Guide and Practice Exam, the "Ready for Work" Bundle is a great option! You receive the NOTCE Study Guide and Practice Exam, the original NOTCE Study Guide and Practice Exam (TOTEM/TOTE), which provides you with 200 extra practice questions, first-year membership with CAOT and CAOT Professional Liability Insurance for a full year. By purchasing the "Ready for Work" Bundle online, you will automatically be converted to a CAOT Provisional Associate within 3 business days, and will be contacted by email with confirmation of your PA status. Modifying or deleting any of the 5 Bundle items in your cart will render your membership, insurance and Provisional Associate status invalid.
- If you are not interested in purchasing the exam preparation materials, you can simply pre-pay for your first-year membership fees and insurance, by filling out our New Practitioner Registration/Renewal form or a Membership Registration form for IEOTs who graduated more than 4 years ago. Please note “Pre-order” on the top of your form and email your completed form to membership@caot.ca or fax it to 613-523-2552. Your form will be processed within 1-3 business days of receipt, and you will be contacted by email with confirmation of your PA status. (*Please note- Pre-orders are not eligible for the monthly pay program)
Once you are converted to a CAOT Provisional Associate, your membership services team will provide you with further details, and will assist you in setting up insurance to cover you immediately, if required.
