Equivalency Achievement Program

The Equivalency Achievement Program enables high school teachers to instruct their students in Athletic Injury Management, Sport Taping & Strapping, and Sport Nutrition Level 1 by providing them with approved Alberta Learning resources. This program is done in conjunction with Career and Technology Studies (CTS). Upon successful completion of the program students are eligible to receive their Certificates of Achievement.

For teachers wanting to teach Athletic Injury Management, Sport Taping & Strapping, or Sport Nutrition Level 1 we require that the teacher needs to take the course first to receive their certificate of achievement. Click here to view current courses!

Once you have completed the course you are then eligible to teach it to your students. After the students have been taught the course you can submit your Certificate Request Document with the list of students. The SMCA will review the document, create the invoice, and mail the certificates to the school.

Two options for payment:

School Per Certificate $ 5 No GST The school is invoiced for each certificate - this is the most common option Student Per Certificate $ 5 No GST The student fills out their own forms and pays for the certificate themselves
