I’ve cleared my 4th Class Power Engineering Part A exam TSBC (scored 75%) through self-study and I’m now preparing for Part B, which I’ve booked for next month . Looking for any guidance or resources that could help with Part B. Also, I have the PanGlobal 3.5 Part A books available if anyone needs them

This milestone is a reflection of years (2006 start) of dedication, resilience, and hands-on experience in Canada’s energy sector. Over the most recent several years, I’ve had the privilege to contribute to some dynamic projects, including: 🔹 Assistant Shift Engineer – Keyera Simonette Gas Plant Operating in a high-capacity midstream facility (450 MMcf/d sour gas & 27,000 bbl/d condensate), with responsibility for cryogenic and sour gas processing, amine & dehydration units, fractionation, compressors, and SCADA/DCS monitoring. Supporting safe operations, hazard mitigation, and contractor onboarding while optimizing plant performance. 🔹 Process Foreman – Sancon Commissioning (Pembina Brownfield Upgrade) Leading commissioning and startup activities, mechanical isolations, permit-to-work processes, lockout/tagout procedures, and SOP development. Ensuring safe turnover of systems and alignment with client standards during critical project phases. 🔹 Contract Operator – S2F Global Resources Supporting Strathcona’s HIP VAP R&D pilot for SAGD steam generation using produced water (GHG reduction & water treatment innovation). Additionally, operating AltaGas’ Townsend deepcut, shallow cut, and mercaptan plant (550 MMscf/d) with responsibility for isolations, inspections, and emergency readiness. These experiences have deepened my industry service commitments and further shaped me into a safety-first, technically versatile operator who thrives on collaboration, problem-solving, and continual learning. Looking ahead, I am already actively pursuing my 2nd Class certification with study materials in hand and initial program underway in the Power Engineering 101 modules. This certification is not the finish line; it’s a steppingstone toward continued professional growth and contribution to Western Canada's power and natural gas industry.

After finally getting the 2nd A1/2/3 exams completed, I’m chomping at the bit to get the three remaining ones out of the way here. I’m probably going to start with 2B2. However anyone that’s written recently, any feedback on these ones? I’ve been going over the syllabus and after speaking with co-workers they didn’t think they’re anywhere near as difficult as the first three. I know there’s probably some posts in here, but I don’t really have a lot of patience to go back and look at old posts. Thanks everyone!

The 600 + votes we have on our resource linked below says that 44% of power engineers found 2A1 to be the hardest 2nd Class exam. Do you agree? Resource: https://powerengineering101.com/the-easiest-order-to-write-your-power-engineering-exams/
