National Dental Assisting Examining Board © 2001 – 2025 National Dental Assisting Examining Board 4 Application Process Eligibility Graduates of Registered Dental Assisting Programs Applicants applying for the CPE from dental assisting programs which are accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada (CDAC), or from non-accredited dental assisting education programs which have been granted exam eligibility by the NDAEB, are considered graduates of a “registered program”. Registered eligible schools are listed on our website (www.ndaeb.ca). To be eligible for the CPE, applicants must: Have achieved and be able to demonstrate a passing mark on the NDAEB Written Exam; or Hold the NDAEB Certificate by Transfer of Credentials (*TOC) Candidates should contact the Canadian Dental Assisting Regulatory Authority (CDARA) in their province to confirm the requirement for the NDAEB Certificate and Clinical Practice Evaluation. Graduates of Non-Registered Programs Graduates of any other dental assisting program (or other dental health program) which is not accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CDAC) and not listed on our registered eligible Schools website, are considered graduates of a “non-registered program”. Applicants wishing to attain the NDAEB certificate are required to successfully complete a two-part NDAEB certificate process which includes the written exam, followed by the Clinical Practice Evaluation. To be eligible to apply for the CPE, applicants must have achieved and received a passing mark on the NDAEB Written Exam. Note - IMPORTANT: The CDARA in your province may require graduates of non-accredited Canadian programs to successfully complete the CPE prior to licensure/registration/ certification (i.e. graduates of accredited programs are not required to take the CPE). - Contact the CDARA in your province to confirm provincial regulatory requirements before enrolling in education programs in lieu of CPE. How to Apply The CPE application process involves completing and submitting a CPE application form online, with a passport-like photo, and full payment (made payable by credit card, in Canadian funds). On the form, candidates will be required to identify their preferred CPE location. The application form can be found on the NDAEB website, under the Clinical Practice Evaluation menu. Availability and capacity are limited so register early. Registration for the CPE is on a firstcome-first-served basis. Each site can only take a limited number of candidates. Once the maximum number of registrants is received, the site will be closed due to full capacity.
