PEBC Examinations

The Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada (PEBC) is the national certification body for the profession of pharmacy in Canada. PEBC is a non-profit organization with more than 50 years of experience in assessing the qualifications and competence of candidates for licensing by pharmacy provincial regulatory authorities such as SCPP.

Provincial legislation restricts the practice of pharmacy to qualified persons. The PEBC Certificate of Qualification for pharmacists is a licensing requirement for entry-to-practice applicants (whether trained in Canada or elsewhere) in Saskatchewan. The PEBC Certificate of Qualification for pharmacy technicians is an entry-to-practice licensing requirement in Saskatchewan.

Through its comprehensive certification process, PEBC ensures that pharmacists and pharmacy technicians entering the profession have the necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to safely and effectively practise pharmacy. The rigorous certification process administered by PEBC ensures the quality of pharmacists and pharmacy technicians entering practice and is a vital component in the delivery of safe and effective health care to Canadians.

SCPP accepts the PEBC Qualifying Exam as a measure to demonstrate the currency of education for three years from the latest pass date. Certification with PEBC itself does not expire.
