Exam Contractors

CPA Canada has strict policies and regulations surrounding exams which must be adhered to.

CPAWSB relies on exam contractors to provide excellent service to exam writers while upholding the integrity and security of the exams. Exam contractors collaborate with each other and the Exam Contractor Management Team during exams to ensure all individuals are well informed and are committed to responding to any issues that may arise. The Exam Contractor Management Team strives to have a fair and open environment with contractors while ensuring all writers receive a similar experience across all exam writing centres.

There are three types of exam contractors:

They are also responsible for exam materials and managing a team at their location.
