Is this exam for you?

• Pharmacist. Exam: PEBC Pharmacist Qualifying Examination Part I (multiple choice).

Both exams are set by the Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) and are used for registration in every province except Quebec. Not covered: Part II (the OSCE for pharmacists and the OSPE for pharmacy technicians), provincial jurisprudence exams and Quebec (OPQ) requirements.

The official exams

• Pharmacy Technician Qualifying Examination Part I: 150 multiple-choice questions (120 scored and 30 pretest) in two sections of 100 minutes, at a Prometric test centre or by remote proctoring.

What you get

• Standard Access (CAD 29 per exam): the diagnostic (40 questions, one attempt), six area quizzes and a calculations quiz (10 questions each, untimed, unlimited attempts) and four full-length timed mock exams with four attempts each, with results by email. Access: 30 days from approval, or until your exam date if that comes first.
• Full Access (CAD 49 per exam): the same tests with eight attempts per mock exam, access until your exam date and the CCEC guarantee.

Per exam: pharmacist mock exams of 200 questions in 260 minutes; pharmacy technician mock exams of 150 questions in 200 minutes. The CCEC readiness mark on every mock exam is 75%; PEBC reports results as pass or fail and does not publish a percentage pass mark.

Send your official result notice and your new exam date through the support form. This is not a cash refund.

Who can register

To register you need to be preparing for a PEBC Qualifying Examination Part I and to meet PEBC's own eligibility for it. PEBC lists, among others:

• Pharmacist exam: graduates of a first professional pharmacy degree program accredited by the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs (CCAPP), or students in the final year of such a program who expect to graduate within 9 months (approved conditionally by PEBC); international and U.S. pharmacy graduates with a completed, valid PEBC Pharmacist Document Evaluation.
• Pharmacy technician exam: graduates (2008 or later) of a CCAPP-accredited pharmacy technician program, or students about to graduate (approved conditionally by PEBC); international pharmacy technician graduates found eligible through the PEBC International Evaluation; holders of a valid PEBC Pharmacist Document Evaluation.

You also need a valid government photo ID and proof of your PEBC exam eligibility or booking (for example your PEBC acceptance or Document Evaluation letter, or your exam booking) showing your exam sitting or date, uploaded with the Mock exam document upload form within 3 days of registering; the link is in your registration confirmation email.

Eligibility to write is decided by PEBC, and registration requirements are set by each provincial pharmacy regulator, not by CCEC.

How registration works

• Choose your exam and access type and complete the registration form, including the eligibility declaration. Then upload a copy of your government photo ID and proof of your PEBC exam eligibility or booking using the Mock exam document upload form (the link is in your registration confirmation email), with the same email address you registered with, within 3 days.
• Pay online by credit card at the end of the form. An unpaid registration is cancelled automatically after 15 minutes, and you can register again at any time.
• Assessment. Your details and documents are checked against the eligibility requirements, usually within a few hours if everything is in order. If our Admissions team needs anything else, you are told exactly what to send and by when. If your documents have not arrived, you receive reminders, the first about 2 hours after registering.
• Access. If approved, you receive your access email with the link, your access code and your access end date. If not approved, you are told why, and your fee is refunded in full by the same payment method within 2 to 3 business days.
