What this free CBA review covers
Our free CBA review checks your competency write-ups against key assessment expectations commonly used in Canadian P.Eng. applications. The review looks at scoring criteria such as clarity, depth of experience, demonstration of engineering judgment, and alignment with competency indicators. It also helps identify common gaps, including weak examples, missing context, incomplete outcomes, and indicators that may not be clearly demonstrated, so you know what to improve before submission.

Spending Months on Your CBA Assessment, But Still Not Sure If It's Good Enough?
Writing your competency-based assessment for P.Eng. licensure is stressful. You've invested hundreds of hours documenting your experience, but the fear of rejection lingers:
Will my examples demonstrate sufficient depth?
Am I meeting all seven competency categories correctly?
Should I revise this again... or is it ready?
Most applicants submit blindly, hoping for the best. Many face rejections and have to start over.
There's a better way.
