Volunteers Wanted for the PSB's Professional Examination
The PSB administers Professional Examination examination to 150+ candidates per year. In order to maintain the rigour of the Professional Examination, we wish to add additional questions to our questions bank to include in future sittings. We are looking for volunteers who are RPPs/MCIPs in good standing (for 7+ years) to provide support for this initiative. The PSB thanks those who responded to our call for volunteers in 2017 and looks forward to working with another group of volunteers over the coming months.
In order to achieve a sustainable question bank for years to come, the PSB and its Professional Education and Examination Committee would like to confirm your interest and advise you of the next steps in the process. To add to our existing question bank, we are asking volunteers to confirm their interest in contributing to this initiative by emailing Nzinga Brown at [email protected].
