Professional Engineering

Becoming a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) in Canada comes down to a few key milestones: confirming your knowledge, documenting your experience, and passing the NPPE. We prepare you for all three — with programs built and taught by licensed Canadian engineers.

Overview

What it takes to become a P.Eng.

The Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) designation is your licence to practise engineering in Canada. Earning it means meeting an academic requirement, documenting qualifying experience, and passing the exams your regulator requires.

That’s three very different challenges — and we prepare you for each: the Technical Examinations that confirm your knowledge, the Competency-Based Assessment that documents your experience, and the NPPE that tests professional practice.

What every program includes
Choose your discipline

Everything you need for your
P.Eng., in one place

Pick the milestone in front of you. Most candidates work through more than one — and we can help you sequence them.

Technical Exams

Confirm your engineering knowledge by discipline.

Discipline-specific prep for Civil, Mechanical & Electrical — Group A, Group B and Complementary Studies, mapped to the official syllabus and taught by licensed engineers.

NPPE Exam Prep

Professional practice — ethics, law & liability.

The National Professional Practice Exam covers professional ethics, law, regulation and liability. Our course turns unfamiliar material into a clear, confident system — with mock exams and full rationale.

CBA Writing Workshop

Turn your work history into an approved assessment.

The Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) is how you document your experience for licensure. Our workshop helps you write clear, evidence-backed competency examples reviewers accept — where many applicants get stuck.

The Path

Three milestones on the road to P.Eng.

Your regulator’s assessment tells you which apply to you. Here’s how the three fit together — and where each program helps.

 

Confirm your knowledge

If assigned, the Technical Examinations demonstrate engineering knowledge equivalent to an accredited Canadian degree — organised by discipline.

Document your experience

The Competency-Based Assessment is how you prove your engineering work experience — in writing, against the competencies reviewers score.

Prove your practice

The NPPE tests professional practice — ethics, law, regulation and liability. For most applicants it's the final step before licensure.

Good to know

It depends on your regulator’s assessment. Almost everyone writes the NPPE; Technical Exams are assigned case-by-case, most often to internationally trained engineers; and every applicant documents experience through a Competency-Based Assessment. Send us your file and we’ll map exactly what you need.

The Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) is how you document your engineering work experience for licensure. Our workshop helps you write clear, evidence-backed competency examples that reviewers accept — a common stumbling block for applicants.

Yes — all three are delivered online with self-paced materials and scheduled live instruction and Q&A, so you can prepare from anywhere in Canada.

Select programs include a retake-support policy — complete the course and, if you don’t pass, re-enroll at no extra cost. Look for the guarantee badge on eligible courses.
