I used CertNova to help prepare my Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) for my P.Eng. application, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Their support saved me a significant amount of time and effort, especially when it came to organizing and articulating my experience in line with regulatory expectations. The team was knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with. I highly recommend CertNova to anyone navigating the CBA process.

Nahal Nobahar

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.
