Why Accept CELPIP?
The CELPIP Tests are officially accepted by several governments, professional organizations, colleges, universities, and employers.
The Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) Test is a recognized computer-delivered English language assessment tool. Since all components are completely computer-delivered in just one sitting, it offers a unique testing experience that requires no 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.
Test Centres Across Canada and Globally
With test centres in every major Canadian city, and international test centres in the USA, UAE, India, and the Philippines, there are monthly CELPIP test sessions available to serve a wide range of schedules and locations.
Single, Computer-Delivered Test Sitting
The CELPIP Test is computerized and is completed in a single test sitting, meaning there is no need for a separate speaking test. In addition, the computerized delivery of the test provides test takers and score users with security and fraud protection.
