ETS administers the Praxis Audiology Examination.

Candidates may register for the Praxis Exam by following the instructions set out in the Praxis Test Registration Guide (PDF) that ETS has prepared for CHCPBC’s examination candidates. In addition to the instructions provided in this document, applicants and Provisional licensees should note the following:

• When creating your ETS-Praxis account, you will see a “Social Security Number” field. You can leave this field empty.
• Home testing is currently available in Canada and the US only. However, you may take the exam in person at many testing centres worldwide, including two in BC (Vancouver). See the Praxis At Home Testing page for information about the process and requirements for taking exams at home.
• You can request that ETS send an “additional score report” to CHCPBC at a cost of $50 (US). For information, see Requesting additional score reports.
• Access your Praxis scores by signing in to your Praxis account.

Examination attempts

Provisional licensees are permitted a maximum of two attempts at the CETP or Praxis Examination, regardless of the exam or combination of exams they choose to attempt. A candidate must complete all attempts within one year from the date Provisional licensure is granted.

A Provisional licence will expire if the licensee fails an entry-to-practice examination for a second time. After the licence expires, the individual may continue attempting examinations as a non-licensee.

Under College policy, a maximum of three attempts is permitted for any entry-to-practice examination, whether taken while licensed or not (see Examination Number of Attempts (PDF)). An individual is eligible to apply for a Full licence only upon successful completion of the required entry-to-practice examination(s).
