January 3 – PEBC online application

The online registration has been temporarily closed while financial reconciliation takes place in the last week of the year. It will be available again on January 3, 2012.

 

PEBC online registration … unavailable?

Thinking about registering for PEBC yet? Interestingly, the online form is currently offline (it was there earlier today, I swear). I’ve emailed the Assistant Registrar to find out if there is an estimated available date.

In the meantime:

• Do you have 4 passport photos?
• Did you find a guarantor/witness?
• Do you have $2000 to pay for the application?

I’ll let you know once the Assistant Registrar gets back to me!

Welcome Back!

Hope you all had a great trip! It was really quiet here without all of you, so good to have everyone back.

I will post SPEP information and deadlines on this page, accessible from the top menu.

Have a good holiday break!
