The same exam
As CCTPEI and CRPO describe it. The college and COMPASS decide what applies to you.
One exam, two colleges
CCTPEI’s Registration Exam is COMPASS’s Canadian Professional Standard for Counselling and Psychotherapy (CPSCP): Entry-to-Practice Competency Assessment, the same exam CRPO uses as its Registration Examination in Ontario. New applicants to the college must pass it.
Same format
Ten client simulations in three hours, nine of them scored, each split into Information Gathering and Decision Making sections. Every option carries a hidden weight from +3 to -3, and you must pass both the IG and the DM totals.
Same days, same fee
Both colleges list the fall 2026 sitting as 26 to 29 October 2026, typically twice a year, spring and fall. The fee is CAD 545 plus tax, paid to COMPASS. CCTPEI’s fall 2026 registration deadline was 19 August; COMPASS needs 6 to 8 weeks to schedule candidates.
What differs
The frame around the exam: CCTPEI’s competency profile for counselling therapists, its standards and PEI law. COMPASS reviews exam options for fit with Canadian, provincial and territorial law.
