How can you best navigate the P.Eng. competency-based assessment (CBA) system? Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) applicants are required to obtain a minimum of 48 months of acceptable, verifiable professional engineering experience, submitted through a CBA model. CBA is a tool, introduced by PEO in 2023, also used by other provincial regulators (BC, SK, MB, ON, NB, PEI, NL) to assess readiness for licensure that examines 34 engineering competencies across 7 categories: technical, communication, project management, professional accountability, and more. 

Our workshop pair gives you the skills and confidence to successfully write your CBA’s 34 engineering competencies. 

By taking these workshops you will:

• Gain clarity about what each competency means
• How to use CBA indicators to guide your writing
• How to select your work experience examples that demonstrate the competencies
• Learn roles and responsibilities of the candidates, validators and assessors
• Understand the competency rating system and the rating rubric
• Build skills to write how you applied your engineering knowledge reliably and safely
• Get your CBA questions answered
• Get started, overcome procrastination, and make a plan to complete your CBA
• Learn about 1-on-1 CBA coaching opportunities
• Improve quality of your CBA before you submit to any of these provincial regulators: PEO, EGBC (engineers only), APEGNB, APEGS, EGM, Engineers PEI, and PEGNL.

The CBA system is designed to ensure that professional licensure requirements uphold and protect the public interest while maintaining an equitable, transparent, consistent and efficient licensure process. Also note: as of May, 2023, PEO is no longer evaluating for one-year of Canadian experience, so you can take this workshop and draw on your international experience. These workshops and accompanying tools give you the skills and confidence to submit your best competencies to your provincial regulator, and get licensed sooner.
