A career in planning

Are you a high school student thinking about a career? Visit the websites of Ontario's recognized planning programs. Representatives from these schools would be pleased to answer questions about their programs and send you information on their entrance requirements.

To become a Registered Professional Planner (RPP), you must obtain the necessary skills, knowledge, and experience. An RPP has a university degree, usually in planning or a related area, has acquired a minimum of two years of relevant planning experience, and has met rigorous examination standards as set by OPPI. These examinations include a written examination that demonstrates knowledge of planning skills, and an oral examination that demonstrates an understanding of professional conduct, principles, and responsibility.
