CELPIP Exam Preparation Program in Victoria

What is CELPIP?

CELPIP stands for the Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program. The CELPIP is a General English language assessment test which measures your listening, reading, writing, and speaking skills. CELPIP is recognized by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) as proof of English-language skills, and it is officially designated for permanent residence in Canada.

 

What is a CELPIP Preparation Program?

Our CELPIP Preparation course in Victoria is a program designed specifically to help you improve your English language skills ready to take the CELPIP test.

The benefit of taking an English test preparation course instead of a General English course, is that we focus on teaching you and developing your English skills in a way that will make the CELPIP test feel very familiar to you when you take it.
