About the LLQP course

The LLQP course is a prerequisite to the LLQP exam, and must be administered through an approved course provider. It is available in English and French, with fees set by the individual course providers.

About the LLQP exam

The LLQP exam is comprised of four modules that cover the curriculum outlined in the qualifying course. It is administered by Durham College. In order to take the exam you must present a certificate of completion of the LLQP course. (Note: These certificates are valid for only one year after passing your exam. If you fail to pass the exam within a year, you will need to redo the qualifying course.)

The cost of the exam is $264, which allows for one attempt at all 4 exam modules. If you fail, separate fees will be charged for subsequent rewrites.
