CELPIP
What is CELPIP?
The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) test allows test takers to demonstrate their ability to function in English. The test clearly, accurately, and precisely assesses a test taker’s English abilities in a variety of everyday situations, such as communicating with co-workers and superiors in the workplace, interacting with friends, understanding newscasts, and interpreting and responding to written materials.
Why take CELPIP?
The CELPIP Tests are Canada's leading general English tests for immigration and professional designation. Since all components are completely computer-delivered in just one sitting, it offers a unique testing experience that requires mo additional appointments. The computer-delivered Speaking component allows test takers to demonstrate their English proficiency without the possible confounding effects associated with human interaction, as used in other testing systems.
