Course Overview
AIC’s revised co-signing policy emphasizes expanded responsibilities for co-signers. The traditional co-signer role has been primarily concerned with overseeing the quality of a Candidate’s work, focusing on ensuring Standards are met, meeting client expectations, and protecting against complaints, professional liability, or insurance claims. This aspect of co-signing remains crucial, but in addition, the role has now expanded to specifically consider candidate development. The policy clarifies that co-signers have an obligation to support candidates in their development towards becoming a successful designated member of AIC. Beyond simply overseeing quality work, the co-signer also fulfills a professional development role, in supervising, guiding, advising, and coaching candidates.
The goal of this course is to emphasize this dual role, help co-signers understand what is expected of them, and foster development of knowledge and skills necessary for co-signers to fulfill these expectations.
Course Structure
The course is designed and presented by designated AIC members and is delivered through UBC’s distance learning platform.
The course is divided into three main modules, each of which reinforces the co-signer’s responsibilities and showcases best practices towards achieving candidate success.
The course materials consist of a combination of text lessons and instructional videos. Participants may begin the course at any time and proceed at their own pace, providing they complete the course within one year of registration.
