NPPE Exam
In order to be licensed as a professional with PEGNL, all applicants must pass the National Professional Practice and Ethics Exam (NPPE).
National Professional Practice & Ethics Exam
All applicants for professional licensure are required to pass an examination to confirm they have sufficient knowledge of the ethical considerations and obligations that accompany the privilege of professional status, and the legal concepts relevant to the professional practice of engineering and geosciences in Canada. This examination is called the National Professional Practice and Ethics Examination (NPPE).
Information regarding the NPPE is found at the NPPE website.
Candidates should review the website in detail, as it contains important information on the following topics:
- Exam Information

You must register for the NPPE through the PEGNL Member and Applicant Portal.
