Registered Permittee Program

The first step in entering the film & television workforce as a PA and qualifying to become an Alberta DGC Member. 

DOWNLOAD THE REGISTERED PERMITTEE CHECKLIST

COMPILE AND SUBMIT ALL DOCUMENTS TO DGC@DGCALBERTA.CA 

Once the ADC Office recieves your completed application and it is verified, you will be officially registered in the ADC Registered Permittee Program. The benefits of being in this program include receiving the ADC Newsletter and being able to submit a "Weekly Availability Form". The ADC pulls names from this Weekly Availability List (when Members are unavailable) and provides your name, number and resume to active productions when they are hiring. The ADC does not dispatch - You are responsible for securing your own gainful employment while being a Registered Permittee. 

The requirements listed on the checklist are specific to persons who are looking to become a Registered Permittee with the Alberta DGC. Please note: Each District Council / Jurisdiction / Province has their own specific requirements on becoming a "Registered Permittee".

This course is specifically for individuals who are only looking to become a Registered Permittee with the ADC. This course is not accepted by IATSE 212.
