As an institution certified by the Canadian Government, we are authorized to issue form T2202 Tax Certificate. As a result, our fees for our PEBC prep courses are eligible for the Federal Tuition Income Tax credit. For most students this means they will get 15% of all applicable fees including sales taxes refunded via a tax credit on their tax return. Talk to your tax preparer for details.

Our courses are held every six months about a month before the PEBC OSCE exam. For exact dates, please consult our schedule.

Our 1-student/1-station policy means we have as many stations as we have students so you will never have to share a station with another student. It also means that the pharmacist assessor and the standardized patient will be solely focused on you. This system which to our knowledge is unique to PharmAchieve allows you to receive unparalleled attention and personalized feedback from many highly qualified instructors.

PharmAchieve Toronto courses begin at 10am and typically end at 5pm. Our Calgary and Edmonton courses typically begin at 9:00am and finish at 3:30pm.

PharmAchieve is a Baha'i inspired organization founded upon the Baha'i ideals that "work is worship." Our founders deeply care about the course and their students. This philosophy of caring is reflected in our decision to become the first company in Canada to provide a one student per station policy. We believe the key to success in the OSCE is to practice as many scenarios as possible under conditions that mirror the exam as closely as possible. Thus while we do include a substantial classroom and lecture component, we put more emphasis on practicing under conditions that mirror the OSCE.

PharmAchieve's students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. PharmAchieve has more than several hundreds Canadian graduates enrolled in it's courses including more than half of the class of several universities. At the same time PharmAchieve classes are taken by hundreds of IPGs. PharmAchieve is therefore, the only course currently in the market trusted by both IPGs and Canadian Graduates in large numbers.

• Toronto: All hotels in proximity to a subway station in downtown Toronto are a short commute to PharmAchieve's Toronto location because each station represents about one minute of commute time.
• Calgary: There are a number of hotels in close proximity to University of Calgary Foothills campus including Aloft and Holiday Inn.

We used to offer discounted accommodations, but now recommend the name-your-own-price feature of priceline.com and hotwire.ca because they typically offer much better rates. When using this service you do not get to specify the hotel you wish to stay in but instead specify the region on a map where the hotel must lie, the minimum hotel star rating, and the price you are willing to pay. Using this method students are often able to secure hotel rooms at 4-star hotels in downtown Toronto (e.g. Sheraton, Hilton) for about $70 to $95 per night. Another service that often offers good rates is hotwire.ca.

Our class is located in North York, Toronto near Hwy 401/and Leslie Ave. Accordingly, we recommend accounting for at least one hour to get to the airport in case of heavy traffic.
