Welcome to CELBANPrep University. Since January 2021, the CELBAN exam has become available online internationally, and the limit on attempts has been removed. But let’s take a step back and explore how CELBANPrep started.
The Beginning of CELBANPrep
In 2009, CELBANPrep began in a small office. Founder Kim Kara was working for an employment agency that had a $2 million contract to help Internationally Educated Health Professionals (nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and vets) get licensed to practice in Canada.
Nurses often asked Kim if there were any books for the CELBAN. The answer was no, so Kim took the initiative to create resources herself.
She started with short classes but quickly realized the challenges nurses faced, such as transportation issues and shift work conflicts. Recognizing the need for flexible learning, Kim decided to offer CELBAN preparation courses online, long before it became common practice.
Advancing to 2024 and CELBANPrep University
With the advent of the computer-based CELBAN test available internationally, Kim redesigned CELBANPrep to extend its reach globally. She knew many internationally educated nurses were looking for reliable resources and that unqualified individuals were offering false promises of CELBAN preparation. True to CELBANPrep’s Compassionate Pricing Policy, Kim created even more affordable and accessible resources.
