CTTAM Civil-Engineering-Technology Exam — Answers to Your Questions
The CTTAM Technical Examination - Civil Engineering Technology C.E.T (exam code Civil-Engineering-Technology) is the exam you pass to earn the Certified Engineering Technologist (C.E.T.) certification, a credential at the Professional / Technologist level. It is also connected with related credentials such as Certified Technician (C.Tech.). If you are mapping out a certification path with CTTAM, this exam is a milestone worth planning around.
The Civil-Engineering-Technology exam includes 110-112 questions, and you have 180 minutes to complete them. With that many questions on the clock, pacing is part of the challenge: divide your time into rough blocks as you go, and flag the items that stall you so you can circle back at the end instead of burning minutes on a single question. A week or two before your exam date, sit at least one full timed session in the PracticeVCE test engine under the same time limit, so the pace feels familiar rather than frantic on the day.
You need 70% to pass the Civil-Engineering-Technology exam, and the official registration fee is $350 CAD. That fee is due again in full for every retake, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper investment by far. Before you book your seat, test yourself with the PracticeVCE practice questions until you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on a consistent basis — it is the simplest way to avoid paying for the same exam twice.
Must hold C.Tech. certification, be a registrant in good standing, and have 1+ year of relevant work experience at technologist level
