Technology Professionals Saskatchewan (TPS) is the only regulatory body in the Province of Saskatchewan that registers professionals in applied science and engineering technology.

TPS awards the following professional post-nominal designations of P.Tech. (Professional Technologist), and C.Tech. (Certified Technician), which are symbols of achievement in applied science and engineering technology and are legally protected for use only by fully certified members in good standing. These professional designations are recognized across Canada by provincial applied science and engineering technology regulating associations, and many employers.{{cn|date=February 2024}}

The association is mandated and empowered by the "Saskatchewan Applied Science Technologists and Technicians Act".[https://www.tpsk.ca/doc/2020%20SASTT%20Act.pdf The Saskatchewan Applied Science Technologists and Technicians Act] tpsk.ca
