About PengCBA

Founded by a licensed Professional Engineer with over 36 years of engineering experience across Canada, the GCC, and Egypt. Our team consists of senior P.Eng.s who have successfully navigated the competency-based assessment process themselves and have years of experience mentoring applicants.
We built PengCBA because too many capable engineers were being turned away at the CBA stage over writing and structure — not engineering ability. We don't just edit grammar; we bridge the gap between your engineering work and the licensure requirements.

Testimonials
What Clients Say
★★★★★
“The coaching sessions helped me realize I had stronger examples than the ones I originally picked. Worth every session.”
★★★★★
“The review caught exactly where I was describing team outcomes instead of my own actions. Fixed those five examples and resubmitted with confidence.”
★★★★★
“I had three failed attempts writing this myself. Having someone who actually understood how assessors read these examples made all the difference — approved on the next submission.”

FAQ
Common Questions
What is the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA)?
The CBA is how most Canadian engineering regulators (PEO, APEGA, EGBC, APEGS, EGM, APEGNB, Engineers PEI, PEGNL, and Engineers Nova Scotia) now evaluate P.Eng. applicants. Instead of listing job titles and years worked, you describe specific engineering situations where you personally applied each required competency, using the Situation-Action-Outcome (SAO) framework.
Which package is right for me?
If you like writing and just need the right structure, the DIY Toolkit is enough. If you already have a draft and want it checked before you submit, choose Expert Draft Review. If you want hands-on help developing your examples, choose Guided Coaching. If you'd rather have it written for you end-to-end, choose Full-Service Writing. Not sure? Start the intake form and we'll recommend one.
How long does each service take?
DIY Toolkit is instant access. Expert Draft Review typically takes 5–7 business days. Guided Coaching runs over 2–4 weeks depending on session availability. Full-Service Writing typically takes 3–5 weeks from your intake interview to a submission-ready draft.
Is my information confidential?
Yes. Your intake details, documents, and drafts are stored securely and only accessible to you and your assigned reviewer. We never share your submission content with third parties.
