National Dental Assisting Examining Board © 2001 – 2025 National Dental Assisting Examining Board 5 All applications must be received by the NDAEB no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the application deadline date. Incomplete or late applications will not be processed. Note: When first applying to take the CPE, candidates must apply for all nine skills required to complete the CPE. Candidates may not apply for only some skills (a “partial CPE”) unless applying for reevaluation of individual skills (i.e. previously failed these skills) or if proof of education in lieu of certain CPE skills is provided with the submitted application. Candidates enrolled in education upgrading at the time of registration for partial CPE, must show proof that their course/program will be completed prior to the date of the CPE to which they are applying. If education is not completed prior to a candidate’s registered CPE, they will not be eligible to take the CPE and will automatically be withdrawn. The application fee would not be reimbursed; other fees may apply based on the days remaining until the CPE session. Please see the withdrawal fee schedule for other potential fees. Formal Education in Lieu of the CPE Candidates may choose to voluntarily attend academic upgrading at a Canadian dental assisting program in lieu (instead of) taking the CPE. Upgrading programs in lieu of CPE must include all nine skills evaluated on the CPE and must include both theory and clinical instruction and evaluation. Programs accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of Canada are highly recommended for labour mobility purposes as non-accredited dental assisting education may not be recognized in all provinces. The NDAEB is committed to fairness, transparency and excellence in the availability and service it provides to candidates, stakeholders and the public, and in keeping with NDAEB’s value of fairness to all involved. Therefore, due to the high demand for the CPE, candidates are not permitted to register for a CPE session to hold a place while also awaiting confirmation to attend formal education upgrading in lieu of CPE. If it is determined the candidate has registered for a CPE session while also registering for the same skills via education upgrading in lieu, the candidate will be penalized / assessed at least 50% of their CPE fees upon withdrawing from their scheduled CPE session. Special Accommodations The NDAEB considers all requests for testing CPE accommodations (i.e. modification to the standard CPE environment) on a case-by-case basis. Testing accommodations can be (but not limited to) for reasons of special needs, medical conditions or religion. Requests for accommodations must be made in writing, using the NDAEB “Request for Testing Accommodations” form (available on the NDAEB website, under “Document Library”). Requests for testing accommodations must be submitted with the application and received by the NDAEB no later than 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the application deadline date. The NDAEB “Request for Testing Accommodations” form (where candidates describe the circumstances requiring accommodation) must be supported by reports or other documentary evidence and signed by a medical practitioner, psychologist or religious leader. The NDAEB reserves the right to determine what conditions/situations constitute a valid request for testing accommodations. Candidates should note that, depending on the availability of clinics in various locations in Canada, requests for special sitting dates due to religious reasons may not be possible at every sitting.
