The NBEO Part III Patient Encounters and Performance Skills (PEPS) Examination is the final part of the core NBEO competency testing sequence that addresses case analysis, critical thinking, and essential skills evaluation in a simulated-live patient encounter. Our state of the art testing facility allows the NBEO to provide the safety, security, and standardization necessary to ensure fairness and validity in a high-stakes testing environment.

The certification corresponds to a specialty within a recognized occupation. For example, Oncology Nurse and Pediatric Nurse are specialties within the nursing field, so Certified Oncology Nurse and Certified Pediatric Nurse would be classified as specialty certifications.
