Exam Refunds and Deferrals

Once the registration deadline has passed, exam fees are non-refundable. After this 60 day deadline and up until 7 days prior to the exam, you may defer to the next sitting but will be charged a deferral fee of $100 + HST, except in cases of illness or bereavement (official verification required). Within 7 calendar days of the exam date, deferrals are not allowed unless there is verified proof of extenuating circumstances such as serious illness or loss of immediate family.

Registrants who defer to a future sitting and then cancel their registration any time prior to this sitting will forfeit their initial exam fee plus any deferral fee paid.

Please note that it is a requirement of CPHR Canada that all members who successfully complete the NKE must remain a member of a provincial organization in good standing to retain their passing test grade. Failure to maintain your membership will result in your passing result being removed from the CPHR Canada database, and you will be required to pay all fees and pass the exam again if you wish to pursue the CPHR designation at a later date.
