The CDRE is an examination that tests the knowledge, skill, attitude and judgment required to competently practice dietetics. The CDRE Preparation Guide explains how the examination is designed, the examination process including sample questions, study guides and references. The Guide is provided when an applicant is registered to write the examination.

The CDRE is held the second Saturday in May and the first Saturday in November each year in both Edmonton and Calgary. The deadline for approval of applications by the College for the May examination is March 30 and for the November examination, September 30. Temporary registration with the College allows candidates to practice under supervision and use the protected title “Dietitian” until they have written and passed the CDRE.

On successful completion of the CDRE the applicant will be transferred to the General Register of the College and issued a general practice permit that grants full registration (without supervision) and the right to practice and use all the protected titles of the College: Registered Dietitian, Registered Nutritionist, Dietitian and the initials RD.
