Examinations
APEGA administers the National Professional Practice Examination (NPPE) for 13 engineering and geoscience jurisdictions across Canada.
Before they can become licensed professionals, all aspiring engineers and geoscientists must pass the NPPE to confirm their knowledge of professionalism, law, and ethics. The exam is offered five times a year and is available in person and virtually.
Applications from internationally trained applicants are evaluated by the Board of Examiners to identify any gaps in their academic backgrounds, and the board assigns technical exams to confirm the applicants’engineering or geoscience knowledge. APEGA also helps applicants who wish to practise in the United States by facilitating registration for the required exams, which are administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying and the National Association of State Boards of Geology.
Supporting internationally trained applicants
APEGA facilitates access to technical assessments that support internationally trained applicants and those pursuing U.S.-based licensure exams.
