The six NPPE areas
Questions are organized by the NPPE blueprint. Laws differ between provinces and territories: most questions test national principles, and an Ontario supplement covers Ontario-specific rules.
Laws change. Questions whose legal points are still being confirmed against current statutes are marked, and every explanation reminds you to check your own regulator's current act.
How it works
1. Read the scenario
Each question is a realistic situation: a client, an employer, a design decision, a complaint. Four plausible answers, one best.
2. Learn from every option
After you answer: why each option is right or wrong, the best answer against the close second, the deciding fact and the principle behind it.
3. Ask the AI Tutor
Stuck? Ask for a hint before you answer: it points you to the facts that matter without giving the answer away. After answering, ask it to explain or ask a follow-up question.

Questions
Is PMCLEAR connected to the NPPE, Engineers Canada or my regulator?
No. PMCLEAR is independent study material. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by Engineers Canada, Professional Engineers Ontario, any other provincial or territorial engineering regulator, or the organization that administers the NPPE. The questions are written for practice and are not real exam questions.
Do the answers apply in my province?
Most questions test principles shared across Canada. Where an answer depends on a provincial act, the question says which jurisdiction it uses. Always check your own regulator's current act, regulations and code of ethics.
Is the AI Tutor legal advice?
No. It is a study aid that explains the practice questions using PMCLEAR's reviewed explanations. It can be wrong; for a real situation, ask your regulator or a lawyer.
What happens when the trial ends?
You keep your progress and can still open the free sample questions. Full access and the AI Tutor continue when you buy the 3-month plan.
