The College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO), the regulatory authority in the Province of Ontario, has announced that it will be producing its own entry-to-practise examinations for candidates who plan to become registered to practise in Ontario.  NABNE will continue to administer both the NPLEX Part I and Part II Examinations in Toronto, Ontario for the forseeable future.

To have your NPLEX Part II – Clinical Science exam results accepted by CONO, the last opportunity you will have to pass the NPLEX Part II – Core Clinical Science Examination(s) will be in February 2019. CONO will accept results from the NPLEX Part II – Clinical Science Examinations through March 31, 2019. After that date, you will be required to take the CONO Clinical entry-to-practise examination(s) if you want to practise as an ND in Ontario.

To have your NPLEX Part I – Biomedical Science exam results accepted by CONO, the last opportunity you will have to pass the NPLEX Part I – Biomedical Science Examination will be in August 2020.  CONO will accept results from the NPLEX Part I – Biomedical Science Examination through November 14, 2020. After that date, you will be required to pass the CONO Part I examination if you want to practise as an ND in Ontario.

If you have questions, please contact CONO at 416-583-6010.

You must submit your application and payment to take or retake the NPLEX Part I – Biomedical Science or NPLEX Part II – Clinical Science Examination(s) via the links on the dashboard of the User Profile you create in the Applicant Portal on our website. You must create a new online User Profile and password every time you apply to take an NPLEX Examination, regardless of whether you have created one for a previous exam administration.

The period for application to take the August 2019 NPLEX Examinations is May 1-31, 2019. After midnight, PDT, on May 31st, the online application process will be closed. We recommend that you submit your application well in advance of the deadline. If you wait until May 31st to apply and have problems with the website, NABNE staff may not be available to help you.
