I have noticed on the websites of some of the major Canadian engineering firms that they require planners who have ’Planning degrees’ and who are members of the ’Canadian Association of Planners’ or such like.
Can anyone shed any light on these?
As a non-Canadian, how would you obtain a planning degree?? I haven’t heard of these before. Do they imply planning qualifications or training??
What about the Canadian Assocation of Planners? any info on this?

There are a number of universities that offer degree or post graduate qualifications featuring project planning. Lincoln and Glamorgan have degrees containing modules on project planning, but I don’t know much more than that.
On the post graduate fron however, Glasgow University offers an MSc Project Planning and Development Project Analysis. Bradford University offers a similar MSc.
Hope this is useful.

This is purely organization dependent !
Some companies only promote people with good qualifications , exp and affiliations.
We may also find several managers who came up from the position of Fabricator/ Fitter or even helper !
But for fresh employment, most of the companies put these requirements :
Planner / Scheduler : Diploma or science degree
Planning Engineer : Engineering Degree
Planning Manager : Engg Degree + PSP / PMP
cheers
