Invigilator opportunities

CPNRE Invigilators Wanted

Three times a year - in January, May, and September - hundreds of practical nursing graduates and other qualified candidates write the B.C. Registration Exam (Canadian Practical Nurses Registration Exam or CPNRE) at various locations across the province.

The CLPNBC is responsible for ensuring that there are invigilators, or supervisors, at every exam site. The number of invigilators required varies depending on the number of candidates writing the exam. The ratio of candidates to invigilators is determined by Assessment Strategies International (ASI), the administrators of the CPNRE.

Sometimes invigilators are LPNs who live in the region, while others are retired LPNs or other qualified individuals. As the CPNRE is one of the measures upon which a PN graduate's eligibility for registration in Canada is based, the position of supervising the exam is extremely important for the LPN profession.

Click on the link below for more information on the Invigilator job description.

Interested in being an invigilator? Send a letter stating your interest along with a copy of your resume to the Examinations Coordinator at the CLPNBC.
Resumes will be kept on file for one year. Only those selected for an interview will be contacted.

Invigilators are paid $200 per day plus lunch and mileage expenses. Orientation is provided by the CLPNBC's Examinations Coordinator.
