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
Sadegh Behboudian
“Using CBA Pro by CertNova Software Solutions helped me get my P.Eng. approved on the first attempt without any CBA rejections. What surprised me most was that the challenge wasn't my experience, it was how to present it properly. Having the right structure and guidance made the entire process much more manageable. Definitely saved me time and avoided the usual back-and-forth revisions.”

“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.”

“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.”
