“Using CBA Pro by CertNova Software Solutions helped me get my P.Eng. approved on the first attempt without any CBA rejections. What surprised me most was that the challenge wasn't my experience, it was how to present it properly. Having the right structure and guidance made the entire process much more manageable. Definitely saved me time and avoided the usual back-and-forth revisions.”

“This was a wonderful experience. Hossein and Jenny were very helpful and prompt to reply to my emails and questions. Hossein got on a call with me before enrolling just to answer my questions. The review for my CBA questions was detailed, thorough with clear direction on what needs to be done to improve, which made it very easy for me to fix my answers. They gave me a time for looking into my CBA questions. They ended up delivering earlier than promised. Finally, they are very fairly priced. Definitely recommend their service for anyone looking to get someone to assess their CBA answers.”

“I recently used this service to review and strengthen my competency submissions for my P.Eng. application, and I had a very positive experience. Reza and the team provided detailed and thoughtful feedback on my existing drafts, helping me clearly understand what was missing and what needed improvement to meet the expectations of the P.Eng. assessment process. They didn't just correct wording, they guided me on how to better structure my responses, highlight my individual contributions, and align my examples with the required competencies. What I found especially valuable was their ability to point out gaps in my explanations and suggest exactly what kind of technical details, context, and outcomes should be included. Their feedback made it much easier to refine my responses and present my experience in a clear, concise, and professional way. Overall, this service was extremely helpful for improving both the quality and clarity of my submission. I would recommend it to anyone who is working toward their P.Eng. designation and wants expert guidance to strengthen their application.”

“I used CertNova to review and refine my Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) for my P.Eng. application, and the experience has been very valuable. Their team provided clear, detailed feedback that helped me better align my competency examples with the EGM's expectations and significantly improved the structure and quality of my submissions. What stood out most was their strong understanding of the CBA framework and their ability to identify gaps in my examples that I would have otherwise missed. Their comments were practical, precise, and easy to apply, which saved me a considerable amount of time during revisions and reduced the stress of the resubmission process. The support was professional, responsive, and focused on helping me strengthen my application rather than just making superficial edits. I would highly recommend CertNova to anyone preparing or revising their CBA competencies for their P.Eng. application.”

“Before using NPPE Pro by CertNova, I was very frustrated. I had already attempted the NPPE exam 3 times, and the only thing left in my P.Eng. process was passing this exam. I had tried studying from other vendors, from books, even using ChatGPT, but I still struggled. With NPPE Pro, the practice questions, flashcards, and review tools helped me focus on my weak areas and keep practicing in a more structured way. What also stood out to me was that the NPPE Pro CertNova team personally reached out, listened to my situation, and helped guide me when I had only a few days left before the exam. This time, I passed successfully. If you feel stuck or you have failed before, I recommend NPPE Pro by CertNova. It can help you study faster, focus better, and feel more confident before the exam.”

Not sure which option fits your P.Eng journey?
Answer two quick questions and we'll point you to the right support.
CertNovaMost applicants do not struggle because they lack experience. They struggle because they do not know how to present it.
Your engineering experience may be strong, but the P.Eng application process requires clear examples, personal responsibility, engineering judgment, and alignment with your regulator's expectations. Without structure, applicants can lose weeks rewriting, waiting for feedback, or responding to comments.
One support system for your P.Eng journey
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CertNova, the P.Eng CBA, NPPE Pro, and expert support.
A Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) is how many Canadian engineering regulators evaluate whether your work experience demonstrates the competencies required for licensure as a Professional Engineer. You must show personal engineering responsibility, judgment, and outcomes using structured examples, usually in Situation, Action, Outcome (SAO) format.
No. CertNova does not write your CBA for you. Your submission must be based on your own experience and professional accountability. We help you understand requirements, structure examples, identify gaps, review drafts, and improve clarity ethically.
CBA Pro is designed to help you structure competency examples aligned with Canadian regulator expectations, including PEO, APEGA, EGBC, APEGS, and others. Final acceptance is determined by your regulator.
Rejection or assessor comments usually mean specific competencies need clearer examples, stronger personal responsibility, or better alignment with indicators. Our CBA Rejection Support helps you understand the feedback and plan targeted revisions.
Not necessarily at the same time. NPPE Pro is for exam preparation. CBA Pro is for writing your competency submission. Choose based on where you are in your EIT to P.Eng journey.
CBA Pro if you're drafting on your own. CBA Review if you already have a draft and want feedback before submission. Consulting if you want 1-on-1 guided support while completing your CBA.
Yes. We support internationally trained engineers applying for P.Eng licensure in Canada, including help understanding Canadian competency expectations and presenting experience clearly.
Timelines vary by experience, regulator, and how much drafting is already done. CBA Pro helps reduce guesswork and rework. Many applicants save weeks by structuring examples correctly the first time.
Yes. Our career coaching support helps with resume positioning, LinkedIn, job search strategy, and interview preparation for engineering roles in Canada.
