Testing Services

CAEC tests are charged at $80 per subject ($400 total for all 5 subjects), payable at the time of booking. This fee consists of a $30 exam fee payable to the Government of Alberta and a $50 proctoring fee payable to Lethbridge Polytechnic.

Computer-based tests have an embedded timer, and the exam will automatically close and submit when the time limit has been reached. Information on individual tests can be found on the CAEC website.

You can register for and schedule your CAEC test(s) online by following these steps:

Registration Requirements:

• An email address.
• A credit card (pre-paid credit cards are available at most retail stores)
• An Alberta Student Number (optional). You can search for your ASN or request an ASN be created on the Alberta Education website.

Booking Steps:

1. Create a profile on the CAEC website.
   • Be sure to properly capitalize all names and addresses when creating your profile.
2. Log in and find the "Book a Test Session" dashboard.
3. Click the "Book a Test Session" button.
4. At this step, you’ll be asked to review the universal supports that are available for the CAEC tests. You will have the opportunity to request accommodations at this step.
   • Note: If you wish to request exam accommodations for a documented medically diagnosed condition or other extenuating circumstances, you will need to submit supporting documentation to the CAEC jurisdictional administrator in your province or territory for review.

   • Note: You will need to complete the scheduling steps for each test and day you want to write. You cannot take all five tests in one day due to scheduling limitations.
7. Use your credit card to complete payment for your selected test session(s).
