The Saskatchewan Aboriginal Courtworker Program started certifying courtworker in September 2007. There are three levels of courtworker designated in Saskatchewan. All courtworker have until April 2008 to be certified to a Level 2. Application for certification are available and need to be completed so you can begin the process. Once the application is received you will be assigned your Level 3 evaluator. They will review and assist you with the process.
