 CCEB Exam Application Information and Instructions

Important Notes

• The CCEB reserves the right, at their sole discretion, to add, delete or alter the examination locations. This may include moving to an alternate site, or even alternate city or province, other than those listed, to conduct the examinations.
• Candidates should wait to receive confirmation from the CCEB of their examination location prior to making any arrangements.
• Please read important information such as dates, policies, and study guides posted at cceb.ca. Candidates are responsible to have reviewed all communication from CCEB.
• A Candidate must meet the CCEB Eligibility requirement (see Examination Eligibility Policy here).

While the CCEB is guided by the eligibility requirements that have been determined by the members: Canadian chiropractic regulatory bodies, candidates are responsible for verifying their licensure/registration eligibility directly with the regulatory body in the province or territory in which they intend to practice.
