By providing you with the most reliable, updated and affordable solution, your licencing process becomes more straightforward, easier to understand and less work. 

Background: Gavin has worked tirelessly with aspiring engineers, geoscientists, technicians and technologists to create courses, services and free resources to help them with their professional accreditation.   The process of obtaining a designation can be time-consuming and is constantly changing.  Gavin keeps a close eye on the updates to the exams so that the products and services are current, straightforward and highly useful to you the aspiring professional.

Before starting Practice PPE Exams, Gavin worked in the construction industry for 9 years and has been published in several magazines, including Construction Canada Magazine.

In 2012, he volunteered with Engineers Canada to help it and PEO to develop and test the Competency-Based Assessment (CBA) reporting system. He devotes 100% of his working time to aspiring and licensed engineers.
