“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.”

“I had a great experience using CertNova throughout my P.Eng application process. Their software made the competency-based assessment much easier to navigate and helped me organize and present my engineering experience in a clear and structured way. What really stood out, though, was the support from Reza and Hossein. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me through the process. Their guidance helped me better understand what was expected and gave me much more confidence in preparing my submission. I would highly recommend CertNova to anyone going through the P.Eng licensing process in Canada. The combination of a well-designed platform and excellent personal support made a complicated process feel much more manageable.”

“Highly recommend NPPE Pro to anyone preparing for the NPPE exam. Their study materials are well organized, easy to understand, and cover the topics you need to pass. The practice questions closely reflect the actual exam and helped me identify my weak areas and improve my confidence. The team was also very responsive and supportive. Whenever I had questions, they replied quickly and provided helpful guidance throughout my preparation. Thanks to NPPE Pro, I passed my NPPE exam. If you are serious about passing, this is an excellent resource and definitely worth it. Thank you for all your support!”

“I had an excellent experience with CertNova and CBA Pro. I used their service for the review of my Competency-Based Assessment, and I am very satisfied with the quality of their work. The review was detailed and professional. They went through my competencies carefully, identified where my examples were strong and, more importantly, clearly explained where improvements were needed and why. Their comments helped me understand the competency requirements much better and strengthen my application without changing the truth of my own engineering experience. I also really appreciate the CertNova staff. They were professional, helpful, patient, and supportive throughout the process. Whenever I needed assistance, they were responsive and treated me with respect. I never felt that I was just another customer. Preparing a professional engineering application can be stressful, especially for internationally trained engineers adapting their experience to Canadian requirements. Having knowledgeable people review my work gave me much more confidence in my application. I highly recommend CertNova and CBA Pro to engineers preparing their competency assessment. Thank you to the entire team for your support and excellent service.”

“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.”

“I used CertNova to review and refine my Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) for my P.Eng. application, and the experience has been very valuable. Their team provided clear, detailed feedback that helped me better align my competency examples with the EGM's expectations and significantly improved the structure and quality of my submissions. What stood out most was their strong understanding of the CBA framework and their ability to identify gaps in my examples that I would have otherwise missed. Their comments were practical, precise, and easy to apply, which saved me a considerable amount of time during revisions and reduced the stress of the resubmission process. The support was professional, responsive, and focused on helping me strengthen my application rather than just making superficial edits. I would highly recommend CertNova to anyone preparing or revising their CBA competencies for their P.Eng. application.”

“Before using NPPE Pro by CertNova, I was very frustrated. I had already attempted the NPPE exam 3 times, and the only thing left in my P.Eng. process was passing this exam. I had tried studying from other vendors, from books, even using ChatGPT, but I still struggled. With NPPE Pro, the practice questions, flashcards, and review tools helped me focus on my weak areas and keep practicing in a more structured way. What also stood out to me was that the NPPE Pro CertNova team personally reached out, listened to my situation, and helped guide me when I had only a few days left before the exam. This time, I passed successfully. If you feel stuck or you have failed before, I recommend NPPE Pro by CertNova. It can help you study faster, focus better, and feel more confident before the exam.”

We don't script them, we don't pay for them, and we don't change the meaning of what people say. CertNova Software Solutions Inc. is a Canadian company, and the people you see here are real engineers who went through the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) and the NPPE on their way to a P.Eng licence.

CertNova is a Canadian company that helps engineers earn their Professional Engineer (P.Eng) licence with less stress and fewer avoidable mistakes. Think of us as the support system around the two hardest parts of licensing: the Competency-Based Assessment (your CBA) and the National Professional Practice Examination (the NPPE). We do that through our software — CBA Pro and NPPE Pro — and through hands-on services like CBA draft review, rejection support, consulting, and career coaching.

CBA Pro is our software for the Competency-Based Assessment. The CBA is hard not because applicants lack experience, but because it's tough to know which examples to use, how much detail assessors want, and how to connect your work to the competency indicators. CBA Pro interviews you about each competency, turns your answers into a Situation, Action and Outcome draft, and shows you where an example is thin. Several applicants here, Sadegh among them, used it to present strong experience in the format assessors actually expect.

NPPE Pro is our preparation platform for the National Professional Practice Examination — the ethics, law, and professional-practice exam you write on the way to your P.Eng. Instead of only reading a textbook, you practise with exam-style questions and scenarios so the reasoning becomes second nature. It's built for first-time writers and for anyone re-sitting the exam who wants a more focused, practice-driven way to study.

Alongside CBA Pro and NPPE Pro, we offer CBA draft review (a professional read of your competencies before you submit), CBA rejection support (help after a regulator returns comments or a rejection), CBA consulting (one-on-one guidance on example selection and strategy), and career coaching (resume, LinkedIn, and interview help for your next engineering role). Many applicants mix and match — for example, CBA Pro to write the draft, then a draft review before they submit.

We hope so, but we can't promise it, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. The final decision on your P.Eng always belongs to your engineering regulator, not to CertNova. What the people in these testimonials have in common is that they used the support to present their real experience more clearly and to fix avoidable problems before the regulator saw them — better structure, clearer engineering judgment, fewer gaps. Your result still depends on your own experience and effort.

No, and that distinction matters. Your CBA has to reflect your own engineering work — that's both an ethical and a regulatory requirement. What we do is help you organize your experience, understand what each competency is really asking, strengthen weak examples, and improve clarity. The words and the work stay yours. You'll notice the testimonials describe guidance, feedback, and structure — not someone writing it for them.

Yes — that's exactly what our CBA rejection support is for. Getting comments or a rejection back is more common than people admit, and it's usually fixable. We help you decode what the regulator actually flagged, decide whether to revise or replace an example, and build a focused resubmission plan so you're not just making small edits and hoping. Rahul's review is a good example of an applicant who used our feedback to realign and tighten their competencies.

Yes. A large share of the applicants we support — including several on this page — trained or worked outside Canada. The key with international experience is explaining your engineering role, the standards you worked to, the decisions you made, and the outcomes clearly enough for a Canadian assessor to evaluate. CBA Pro and our consulting are built to help you do exactly that. Whether your total experience meets the requirement is still your regulator's call.

CertNova supports applicants across Canada. The competency-based framework is used by engineering regulators in provinces such as Ontario (PEO), Saskatchewan (APEGS), Alberta (APEGA), British Columbia (EGBC), Manitoba, and others. The testimonials here come from applicants working through that process. The exact wording and steps vary by regulator, but the skills — strong examples, clear judgment, good structure — carry across all of them.

Yes, when it's used the way it's meant to be. We help you understand expectations, find your strongest real examples, and communicate them clearly. We don't invent experience, we don't sell you someone else's CBA, and we don't encourage copying. Honest, well-structured submissions are better for you and for the profession — and they hold up far better under assessor scrutiny.

Start where your biggest bottleneck is. Haven't started your CBA? Begin with CBA Pro. Draft almost done? Get a draft review before you submit. Already received comments or a rejection? Use rejection support. Preparing for the exam? Use NPPE Pro. Not sure? Use our quick path-finder and we'll point you to the right starting point. Most of the people on this page started with one focused step, not everything at once.

Absolutely. You can open our Google profile and read the reviews directly, including the ones quoted here. We deliberately keep the testimonials on this page in the reviewer's own words — including the long, detailed ones — so you can judge for yourself rather than taking a polished one-liner at face value.

No. No company, consultant, or software can honestly guarantee that, because the regulator makes the licensing decision and you write the exam. What we can do is improve the quality, structure, and clarity of your submission and your preparation so you reduce avoidable mistakes and walk in more confident. If any service ever promises guaranteed approval, treat that as a red flag.

It depends on the service and how much support you want — CBA Pro, NPPE Pro, and the one-on-one services are priced separately so you only pay for what you need. The simplest move is to pick the single thing blocking you right now and start there; you can always add support later. Our pricing page lays out the options, or use the path-finder to get a recommendation in under a minute.

We cover both sides. CBA Pro, NPPE Pro, and our CBA services handle the licensing journey; our career coaching handles resume, LinkedIn, interview preparation, and role targeting for your next engineering position. Some applicants finish their P.Eng with us and then come back for the job search — it's the same goal from a different angle: helping your engineering career move forward.

Summary: CertNova

CertNova Software Solutions Inc. is a Canadian company that helps P.Eng applicants prepare for their licence through CBA Pro (software that interviews applicants and turns their answers into Competency-Based Assessment drafts), NPPE Pro (National Professional Practice Examination prep), and expert services: CBA draft review, CBA rejection support, CBA consulting, and engineering career coaching. The testimonials on this page are real written and video reviews from P.Eng applicants across Canada. CertNova improves the structure, clarity, and alignment of an applicant's own experience; it does not write the CBA for them and does not guarantee approval, which is always decided by the engineering regulator.
