“I used CertNova's CBA Review Service and their P.Eng. team showed me where my competencies were missing key details, where my examples needed strengthening, and what could put my application at risk. The feedback was clear, practical, and gave me much more confidence before submission. Highly recommended for any P.Eng. applicant who wants to submit a stronger CBA.”
So your reviewer knows which regulator and discipline to read your competencies against.
No spam. We only use your details to help with your CBA.
Your sentence, the reviewer's comment on it, and the change you make. You stay the author.
Action
I visited the site during the outage. I witnessed the shaftline corrections done by the crew1, aligning the units according to CEATI standards. We calculated the resultant values and confirmed each unit was within tolerance.
Licensed P.Eng reviewer
“Witnessed” reads as watching. What did you plan, calculate or decide yourself?
We comment. You write the change.
Buyers tell us plainly that they are afraid of paying for a tool that runs their CBA through a model and returns it. A licensed P.Eng reads your competencies. The comments you get back quote your own sentences, because a person read them.
Buyers have told us they worry that an unlicensed reviewer leaves them in a grey area with their association. You do not have to guess who reads your CBA.

Our review record to date
Since June 2025, more than 40 P.Eng applicants have had their CBA read line by line by CertNova. None of those who told us their result reported a rejection. We don't turn that into a rate, because not everyone tells us. Nobody can promise approval; your regulator decides.

These are the problems your reviewer marks. Each one is about how the writing shows your experience.
The example describes the project, not your part in it
The competency is asserted rather than demonstrated
The example does not match the indicator being claimed
The timeline does not support the level claimed
You send what you have written
Upload your competencies and your CV. The CV is what lets your reviewer connect the examples to real projects rather than guessing.
A licensed P.Eng reads every one
Comments sit against your own words, competency by competency, against your association's indicators. We reply within 1 business day of receiving your files.
You get the gaps, ranked
What an assessor is most likely to flag first, what to add, and where the evidence should come from. You do the writing, because the work has to be yours.
You revise, with room for a second read
Competencies you do not use in your band stay available for a second read of a revision. Have 8 in the 1 to 10 band? The other 2 cover it.

“I used CertNova's CBA Review Service and their P.Eng. team showed me where my competencies were missing key details, where my examples needed strengthening, and what could put my application at risk. The feedback was clear, practical, and gave me much more confidence before submission. Highly recommended for any P.Eng. applicant who wants to submit a stronger CBA.”
“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.”
“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.”
Reviews are quoted word for word from our Google profile. Each one is labelled with the service the reviewer describes.
A licensed Canadian P.Eng reads the CBA competencies you have already written and comments on them against your association's indicators, before you submit. You keep authorship. The reviewer marks the gaps, ranks what to fix first and tells you what evidence is missing.
A licensed P.Eng, not a model and not an unlicensed consultant. Reviews are led by Reza Kashi, P.Eng, CertNova's co-founder. Comments are anchored to your own sentences.
CBA Draft Review costs $297 CAD for 1 to 10 competencies, $597 for 11 to 22 and $797 for 23 to 34, one time, before tax. It is one flat price for the band with no hourly billing, and competencies you do not use stay available for a second read.
We reply within 1 business day of receiving your files, and you can book a complimentary 30-minute session with the P.Eng in the meantime. Put your submission date on the intake form so the plan fits it.
No. Your regulator requires the submission to be your own work, and it has to stay that way. We comment, rank the gaps and tell you what evidence is missing. You write.
If your association returns a competency we reviewed, send us the assessor's comments and we'll review your revision of that competency free.
Yes. Reviews are led by Reza Kashi, P.Eng, CertNova's co-founder. Buyers often check this first, because an unlicensed reviewer can leave them unsure what their association will accept.
No. A licensed P.Eng reads your competencies and writes the comments. You can tell, because the comments quote your own sentences and refer to your own projects. Our software, CBA Pro, interviews applicants and turns their answers into drafts, but a review is a person reading your work.
No, and be careful with anyone who says otherwise. Nobody can promise approval; your regulator decides. What we commit to is a service term: If your association returns a competency we reviewed, send us the assessor's comments and we'll review your revision of that competency free.
Since June 2025, more than 40 P.Eng applicants have had their CBA read line by line by CertNova. None of those who told us their result reported a rejection. We don't turn that into a rate, because not everyone tells us. Nobody can promise approval; your regulator decides.
No. Send the ones you want read. Pricing is banded, so if you have 8 competencies the 1 to 10 band covers them and you can use the remaining slots for a second review later.
This is for competencies you have not submitted yet. If you have already submitted and received assessor comments or a rejection, CBA Rejection Support is built for that situation instead, and the read starts from the assessor's comments.
Because the fastest way to strengthen a weak competency is usually a project you already worked on and did not think to use. Your reviewer reads the CV alongside your examples, and it is also how timeline and role conflicts get caught.
They go to your reviewer and nowhere else. We do not share them with your regulator, and we do not use them as examples for anyone else.
Yes. Send one competency through the form on this page and a reviewer will look at it free. It is one of up to 34, so it is enough to see how we work rather than enough to submit, but there is no charge and no card required.
