As part of the qualification for registration as a professional member or an engineering or geoscience licensee, members are required to pass a professional practice exam on Canadian law, ethics and professionalism.
In the past, APEGS has administered its own three-hour, closed-book examination. At its meeting on February 4, 2021, APEGS Council approved the use of the National Professional Practice Exam (NPPE) on an ongoing, permanent basis. The NPPE will now be consistent across most of the regulators in Canada, making the exam process transferable.
The APEGS Law and Ethics Seminar will continue to prepare our members for the exam. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the spring 2021 seminar will be offered online for exam candidates. Staff will be notifying candidates currently registered for the 2021 spring or fall exam directly to inform them of the steps required to transition to the NPPE.
