NCAS CBA & SLA Preparation Course — Built for Self Study
The Inspire Global Assessments (NCAS) CBA & SLA Aren’t Testing Your Nursing Knowledge
Self-paced. Online. Start anytime. 500+ CBA practice questions. 10 SLA prep lecture videos. Canadian nursing frameworks and flowsheets. $397 CAD.
Many IENs perform poorly on the Inspire CBA and SLA - not because they lack nursing skill, but because they study the wrong way. The assessments test how you think and make decisions like a Canadian nurse, not what you know.
You only get one chance. Poor results can mean a re-entry program: 12-24 months and up to $31,300 for international students. This course teaches you how to think, prioritize, communicate, and document like a Canadian nurse so you walk in prepared, and give yourself the best chance at a shorter and quicker licensing pathway.
“It feels like someone finally understands what I am going through. Your course is giving me the clarity I desperately needed. For the first time, I feel like doing well on the CBA and SLA is actually possible. I finally booked my test dates in 2 months — and I’m walking into them with confidence and support I never had before.”

Study on Your Schedule. Build Your Confidence.
Hear how our self-paced program allowed a nurse to study around work and family commitments while gaining the confidence needed for the CBA & SLA.
Here’s what Alison had to say after taking both her CBA and SLA:
“…I wrote my CBA. Your advice to do belly breaths and stay grounded was super helpful and I could hear your encouraging voice in my head so I didn't let my mistakes get the best of me at the time! I would have been completely lost without it! In particular I found your CBA question bank had a high degree of fidelity with the test questions both in style and content.
I also did my SLA. I felt pretty confident that it went well. Your course were ***immensely*** helpful in preparing me. One of your suggestions was to practice scenarios and video tape them and watch them back. I took that suggestion and that was the best studying I did on my own. I printed out the ten SLA scenarios and worked each one as if it was the real thing. My pacing was really good for all scenarios in the SLA I did a lot of assessment and interventions and follow ups... Maybe my only regret was not taking the group coaching program. All your materials and of course the in person SLA prep workshop were incredibly relevant and helpful. I would have been totally lost without it. So thanks for making what would have otherwise been a strictly stressful and unpleasant experience enriching and even fun!”

About Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Irah, a Canadian RN with over 19 years of experience across emergency forensic nursing, public health, rehabilitation, long-term care, and nursing education. I've worked with organizations including Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health and previously taught nursing with a focus on clinical judgment, leadership, and professional practice.
Through my work with internationally educated nurses, I saw that the challenge wasn't nursing knowledge. It was learning how to think, prioritize, communicate, and make decisions like a Canadian nurse. I also saw how many IENs were ending up in longer, more costly re-entry programs when the shorter bridging pathway was within reach with the right preparation.
That's why I created Nursing Collective: to give IENs quality education that is affordable and accessible, so more nurses can walk into their assessments prepared and give themselves the best chance at the shorter path to licensure in Canada.
