Information regarding their educational background, such as school of graduation, or other personal information should not be shared. Code of Conduct • Candidates are expected to act professionally at all times. • Outbursts, offensive language or threats of any kind will not be tolerated. Session Facilitators may dismiss candidates (i.e. terminate their CPE and ask for their departure from the building) for this type of behaviour. Future attempts to register for the CPE may be denied. • Aggressive intimidating behaviour or any form of verbal or physical abuse towards staff or other participants at a CPE session, will not be tolerated and may result in an immediate revocation of NDAEB eligibility. • Please see the Appendix C: Code of Conduct for a comprehensive description of expected behaviour.

Evaluation forms will be used to record the candidates’ performance. Candidates will be provided with an electronic copy of their evaluation results for each skill through their Candidate Portal. • All skills allow for one re-attempt within the allotted time to correct any errors. • Evaluation forms are divided into two sections – “Procedure” and “Professional Practice”. • Within each section, there are several criteria that candidates will be evaluated against. • Some criteria are “critical” – while others are not. A “critical” criterion is fundamental to performing the skill adequately and safely. • In both the Procedure and Professional Practice sections, the critical criteria for each skill are indicated by a block “dot” between the “A” and “U” columns.
