Chartered Administrator

A Chartered Administrator (French: Administrateur agréé) is a member of the Ordre des Administrateurs Agréés du Québec who may use the abbreviation "Adm.A." in French or "C.Adm." in English.

The title Adm.A. or C.Adm. turns out to be a reserved regulated profession; it has no reserved activities. These management professionals are supervised by the Quebec professional system.

In Canada (outside Quebec), there is no equivalent professional title in management sciences.
