What we offer

Pick the support that fits where your application is. Prices are in Canadian dollars, one-time.

CBA Pro, to draft your CBA from your own answers

Not a chatbot: software that interviews you about your own projects, turns your answers into a draft of each competency, and leaves a bracket wherever a fact is missing. One competency free, then $97, $197 or $297.

CBA Draft Review

A licensed P.Eng reads your written competencies line by line and marks what to change before you submit. $297, $597 or $797 by competency band, with one competency read free first.

CBA Rejection Support

Your association returned your CBA. Send the assessor's comments and a licensed P.Eng shows you what each flagged competency needs. From $297 by competency band.

CBA Writing Consulting

An hour on video with a P.Eng license holder while you write: which example fits each competency, and where your draft is still thin. $147.

NPPE Pro, for the exam

Lessons on all 52 topics, 580 practice questions with every answer explained, and full mock exams on the real timer. A 14-day free trial, then three one-time plans.

Career and job-hunting help

Toolkits and 1-on-1 coaching for your resume, LinkedIn, job search and interviews in Canada.

What P.Eng applicants across Canada say

M. Ibrahim

“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.”
