Technical Exam Program

PEO requires applicants without an undergraduate engineering degree from a program accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board to complete a technical exam program to meet the equivalent education qualifications.

Applicants who do not have an undergraduate engineering degree from a program accredited by the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) will be permitted to register for technical exams to complete the equivalent qualifications to satisfy PEO’s academic requirements for licensure.

The technical examination program consists of four exams:

  • Two Group A exams from any engineering discipline
  • One Group B exam from any engineering discipline
  • One Complementary Studies (CS) exam (non-technical)

The pass mark for all PEO exams is 50%.

Past Technical Exams

Would you like to see past technical exams to understand how they are set and organized? Past exams are available for download from EGBC’s Past Academic Exams webpage. EGBC uses the same technical exams as PEO.

Past exams are for information purposes only, and reviewing them does not replace preparation for current exams. Answers are not included in past exams, and their format may differ from current and future exams. 

If there are no past exams listed for the exam you’re writing, one is not available.
