Chemist in Training

A Chemist In Training (CIT) is a Canadian designation for someone who has obtained a degree from an accredited institution that qualifies for registration with one of the provincial or territorial chemical professional associations^[1][2][3], but has not yet achieved the additional requirements (like relevant supervised work experience) to become accredited as a Professional Chemist (P.Chem.).

Licensure

A licensed CIT is certified to work in a chemistry profession. Upon completing a certain amount of work experience under the supervision of a Licensed Professional Chemist (P.Chem.) as determined by a licensing board^[4][5][6], a CIT is then eligible to gain experience by supervision from a P.Chem.

While being a certified CIT may help in obtaining a chemistry related job, it is not typically required to do chemistry work. All work performed by an CIT must still be checked and certified by a P.Chem.
