PengCBA was built out of a simple frustration: too many capable, experienced engineers were being turned away at the Competency-Based Assessment stage — not because their engineering was weak, but because their writing didn't show assessors what they needed to see.

Our founder holds a P.Eng. designation and has spent decades practicing engineering internationally, including in-country experience on major infrastructure projects in Saudi Arabia, alongside work across Canada and Egypt. That cross-border perspective is especially useful for internationally trained engineers navigating the CBA process for the first time — we've been in rooms on both sides of the table.

We built PengCBA to make the CBA process less opaque: clear frameworks, honest feedback, and — when you want it — a P.Eng. who will sit down and help you write it properly, competency by competency, association by association.

What we believe

• Your engineering experience is likely strong enough. Most rejections are a writing and structure problem, not a competency problem.
• Every association is different. A generic template doesn't work across PEO, APEGA, EGBC, APEGS, and the rest — the framework has to match your regulator.
• No one can guarantee approval. We're honest about that from the start. What we can guarantee is a properly structured, competency-aligned, P.Eng.-reviewed submission.
