How does this help you?

• This is important if you wish to use your AQX Certification with organizations other than the one where you took your AQX Certification.
• You do not need to purchase private insurance if you are working for a municipality, University, or other large organization that insures you.  
• Some private facilities, private pools, Clubs, cruise ships, etc. may require you to provide proof of insurance.  Now you can arrange that!
• This means your AQX Certification is valid anywhere in Canada!
