CPTE pricing

The CPTE, prepared from CAPR’s own blueprint.

The CPTE is the entry-to-practice exam for physiotherapists everywhere in Canada except Quebec. An attempt costs CA$2,500, and a candidate whose first attempt was after 2012 has three in all; the weeks you spend getting ready are the cheap part.

Failed attempts at the PCE Clinical Component and at provincial clinical exams count. There is no time limit for using them. A month of preparation here is CA$39; one attempt costs about 64 times that.

Who makes QualExam

A professional team, and a person who answers.

QualExam is published by Vishwen Labs (OPC) Private Limited, which also publishes SQE1 Prep for the first stage of the Solicitors Qualifying Examination in England and Wales.

Every exam fact comes from the certifying body’s own published document, and the page that states it names that document. Each document is pinned by hash, so a revised edition shows up as a change rather than a surprise.

Our professional team verifies every lesson, question and flashcard in several review phases, and exam facts are transcribed from the source documents themselves.

Write to support@qualexam.com and a person reads it. A sourced correction is made at the source, so every page that carries the fact changes at once.
