Navigar is currently available only to members of the IT Group. If you are an IT Group member, you can create your Navigar account and get immediate access.

Our partners have asked us to use a personal email address to keep your Navigar account separate from any current or future training (personal or through your employer).

But there are other good reasons for your training information to be linked to a non-work email:

• It ensures that you will continue to have access to Navigar, even if you change jobs/email address.
• Some training plans can only be linked to one email account, so it allows your employer to provide you training through your work email and allow your personal training history to remain  intact and separate from any work plans.

If you don’t want to use a personal email address, you can request a PIPSC email or create a new email address dedicated to training, e.g My_Training@gmail.com.

If you need to update your email, please use your work email to access the new PIPSC website and go to My Workspace – My Account – to edit your contact details.

Please allow 5 minutes for this data to update all PIPSC systems,  then create your Navigar account with the new email.

Yes, you can still access those training platforms with the original email you used when you first created your account. You can also access their account settings to change your email address to match the one on your Navigar account.

Yes, the PIPSC website allows members to change their personal information, including your email. After updating your email address, please allow about 10 minutes for the change to sync with the PIPSC member database.

We have thousands of job titles in our database, but we don’t have every job title.

We recommend that you choose the closest match, then share your actual job title here. We are continuously updating our job title database to ensure that Navigar gives you the most accurate training recommendations. 

We have thousands of careers in our database but we don’t have every career.

Use the career description that best matches the one you’re interested in to ensure you’re getting the most relevant training recommendations. Then let us know the missing career title and we’ll work on adding it to our list.

You can bookmark more than one career. Just click on the flag icon in the corner of each career information box to save it to your list.

You can easily change careers or bookmark as many careers as you like to review the skills and training for each. Just click on the flag icon in the corner of each career information box to save it.

Though it’s not an exact match to the Government of Canada’s language rating system, it will still help you raise your second official language qualifications and proficiency levels.
