We are proud to be a member of the official CELPIP network. Our CELPIP Prep Program is delivered online. It is the same program that is used for classroom delivery. This program was developed by individuals who are familiar with all parts of the test who have been exposed to real-life responses from hundreds of test-takers and have witnessed the common mistakes encountered.

Our tutors are Canadian. They have all completed the CELPIP Instructor Certification course. They know and understand the test better than anyone else. They will build your confidence and support you so that you feel prepared to take the test after your training has completed.

There are four modules in our program which include Writing, Speaking, Reading, and Listening. This program provides test takers with the best training because all of the content is highly relevant to the official CELPIP test. We guarantee that we can fully prepare you for the CELPIP test but we can’t guarantee your test results. That would be unfair because there is no way to predict your reaction and behavior when you are in the official test environment.

NOTE: If your language skills are weak you may want to consider enrolling in our Grammar Made Easy program before preparing for the CELPIP Test.
