Q: What is the difference between being registered and certified as a technical official?

Triathlon Canada uses two achievement markers: Registered: the official has completed the basic registration requirements and the Safe Sport requirements. Registered officials appear on a national registry. Certified: the official has completed the evaluation requirements for a specific context, including tests on the Competition Rules and operational procedures for their assigned sector or sectors. Certification levels run from Provincial Technical Official (PTO-1 and PTO-2, run by the provincial sport organizations), to National Technical Official (run by Triathlon Canada), to the World Triathlon levels (CTO and ITO).
