Prairie CCA - How to Become a CCA

What qualifications do I need to become a CCA?

Anyone who wishes to become a CCA must meet 2 criteria. They initially must pass both the Prairie and International CCA exams. Once completed, they must meet the educational and work experience requirements outlined by the CCA program, then have their qualifications reviewed by the Prairie and International Board.

If a person has a non-agriculture degree, or no formal education, they require 4 years (48 months) of crop advising experience. If the candidate has a diploma from an agriculture school, they require 3 years (36 months) of crop advising experience. If the person has a formal degree in agriculture, they need to have 2 years (24 months) of crop advising experience. One-month work experience is counted as one month toward eligibility of CCA experience. Once they meet their requirements and have passed each exam, they can apply to receive their CCA status.
