Tutorial Guide
Hey there, thanks for visiting your CMS Tutorial guide. If you’ve received the link to this page, it means that you’re on your way to getting a fantastic new website!
The purpose of this page is to help give you an idea of all of the different ways we can layout content on your site. We use a Panel Concept, and you’ll be able to view the various options below.
Don’t worry; we will take care of ensuring your new site is both visually attractive and professional. This area is just a hub to help you during your content creation process. If you have any questions or need a little direction feel free to reach out to your account manager, and they will be able to help walk you through the process!
Panel 1: Standard Panel
Our Standard Panel is one of the most diverse panel options we have available. It can be used to create buttons or links, upload PDF’s and supporting documents or any other information you’d like to place here.
The formatting options available here are also complex. We will upload all of the options so that it’s easy for you to use when you’re updating all of your own content.

Panel 4: Standard Panel With Tabs
Tab One Content
The standard panel tab concept was created to help our users split up content while keeping the page visually enjoyable for visitors.
- You can place in bullet points
- Attach photos and videos
- Create a table for information
The button tab names can be adjusted, so if you have a wide variety of services your company offers you can place it all on one page and users can easily browse through that information.
Tab Two Content
They can be utilized in a multitude of ways and can also be customized to fit your brand!
As displayed below, embedding a picture or video is no problem at all and can be a powerful tool to help compliment your content. As with a standard panel adding in links, buttons or directing the user to find out more information is all possible in this panel.
Panel 5: Parallax Panel Insert
This is a Parallax Panel!
This panel type should be reserved for a short eye catching blurb of information. As you can see, the words stay in place while the image scrolls behind it. We recommend around 85 - 100 characters in this section if possible. If you need assistance with a background image feel free to reach out to your account manager and they can help you choose one.
Another great addition is that the parallax panel allows for a button which can be a URL link, a phone number or email. Keep this in mind as it’s great for helping with lead generation!
Panel 6: Side by Side (Image)
A Short Subtitle Goes Here!
Here is an example of a Side by Side panel with an image on the right!
They are a great tool that can be used to guide the users attention.

Panel 7: Side by Side (Video)
A Short Subtitle Goes Here!
Here is another example of a Side by Side but this time with a video on the left hand side!
You can envision a similar concept as above, but this time you can place a relevant YouTube or Vimeo video here to help users understand the point you are making.

How do I apply for the NPPE?
You can apply for the NPPE through your regulator. You can find links to every provincial and territorial regulator here.
Am I eligible to take the NPPE?
To be eligible to take the NPPE, an application for professional membership to your provincial/territorial regulator might be required. Please check with your regulator to confirm the eligibility requirements.
Why do I need to take the NPPE?
It is one of the requirements for becoming a licensed engineering or geoscientist professional in most Canadian jurisdictions.
When do I need to take the NPPE?
You may choose to take the exam once you have submitted an application for Professional Membership or when you have approval from your regulator to do so. The exam is available five times a year.
How do I study for the NPPE? Can I get copies of old exams?
The NPPE Study Materials page outlines the suggested resources to use to study for the NPPE. Textbooks can be purchased directly from the book publishers or through Amazon Canada and may be available at a library or used bookstore. Several online practice exams are available for separate purchase as well. The NPPE textbooks cannot be purchased through any regulator.
Do you offer training or study groups for the NPPE?
The NPPE program does not offer classes or workshops to prepare for the NPPE and does not endorse any preparation services offered through external or private organizations.
I have old material; can I use that for the current exam?
The exams are based on the current resources posted on our website. Using old material is at your own discretion.
Can I apply after the deadline?
No, exam applications will not be accepted after the deadline for any reason.
Can I defer my exam or change the site location of the exam?
You can defer, cancel, or change the site of the exam any time before the exam’s deadline.
I understand it is after the deadline, but I will not be able to make the exam that I’m scheduled for. Can I still change my exam date?
If you would like to change your exam date within the exam session (i.e., changing from Monday to Wednesday), then you can contact Meazure Learning to make this change. Deferrals are allowed until the booking window has closed, but will only be allowed under specific circumstances after that date. You will need to contact your regulator regarding a deferral.
I require accommodations for the exam for medical reasons. How can this be arranged?
Please refer to the Testing Accommodations information page.
Can I take the exam outside of Canada?
With remote testing, the exam can be taken anywhere in the world, as long as the computer and internet requirements are met. You can check these requirements prior to registering for the exam.
What mark is required to pass the NPPE?
An equated exam score of 65 is required to pass the NPPE.

When do we get the results of the exam?
Results for the NPPE are not available immediately after completing the exam because analyses need to be conducted on the results. Processing time for final marks to be assessed as a pass or fail is approximately 2 to 3 weeks after the exam dates. Exam results will be received prior to the registration deadline for the next NPPE administration. Results are made available to applicants via your regulator.
How many times can I attempt the NPPE?
Most regulators have policies limiting the number of attempts of the NPPE within a specified timeframe. Please confirm with your regulator.
