“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.”
