Business to military training using the National Advanced Placement and Prior Learning
(N-APPL) portal. This is currently under development, but in the meantime you can
find out more from the National Advanced Placement and Prior Learning.
Is a Sask Polytech program equivalent to CAF training requirements?
Sask Polytechnic is working towards having our programs assessed for equivalency with
the Canadian Armed Forces – Accreditation Certification Equivalency (CAF-ACE) program.
This is a work in progress and new programs will be added to this database as they
are certified. Learn more about the Accreditation Certification Equivalency.
