An authorized NABCEP Registered Exam Provider with proctored seats in Toronto, Calgary and Abbotsford. $95 a seat, the same price for every candidate.
Being a registered exam provider means we are authorized to administer the examination properly — the right room, the right proctoring, the right chain of custody. It buys you a seat. It does not buy you an advantage in the seat, and any provider implying otherwise is misrepresenting what the status is.

NABCEP's testing vendor adds a US$75 international fee for examinations taken outside the United States and Canada. Canada is not outside it. Candidates testing here pay the same as candidates testing in the US — which means there is no fee reason to fly anywhere, and no reason to pay a third-party “international booking” charge to anyone.
Fees are set by NABCEP, quoted in US dollars, and can change. Check NABCEP's own schedule before you budget.
PV Associate is a knowledge credential with no experience requirement. The professional certifications — Installation Professional, Design Specialist, Installer Specialist, Commissioning & Maintenance Specialist — require documented installation experience and, on most routes, a training record. That experience is the long pole and no course shortens it. If that is where you are headed, the useful thing to do this year is start documenting the work you are already doing.
Our seat fee and our exam dates are identical for candidates who trained with us and candidates who did not. We do not offer earlier dates, better rooms or cheaper seats to our own students, and we do not ask on the booking form where you studied — because it is not relevant, and a centre that treats it as relevant should not be trusted with the exam.
No, and we will not ask where you trained. The fee, the dates and the room are the same either way.
Toronto, Calgary and Abbotsford. If none of those is reachable, NABCEP has other authorized providers and we will point you at the nearest rather than have you travel to us.
Government-issued photo identification matching the name on your NABCEP application. NABCEP's candidate handbook is the authority on what is admitted into the room.
Applications go directly to NABCEP, and eligibility decisions are theirs alone. We book the seat and administer the exam; we do not influence who is allowed to sit it.
Language options are set by NABCEP, not by the centre. Ask NABCEP before you apply.
