CELPIP General Preparation (for PR and work in Canada)

CELPIP General tests everyday English across four skills, and each skill is scored on its own scale. That means you need steady performance in all four, not strength in only one. In our course you will:

Learn the question types for Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking
Practise email and survey response writing with feedback
Practise timed speaking tasks and learn how to structure answers
Take full mock tests to build timing and confidence
Work on your weakest skill first instead of repeating what you already do well

CELPIP General LS Preparation (for Canadian citizenship)

CELPIP General LS is the shorter test, covering Listening and Speaking only. It is designated by IRCC for citizenship applications. Citizenship applicants aged 18 to 54 generally need CLB 4 in both skills; please confirm the current requirement on Canada.ca before you book. Many learners find LS more approachable because it is shorter, but you still need to understand the format and Canadian accents. In our LS course you will:

Practise all Listening task types with Canadian accents
Practise every Speaking task with a trainer and get feedback
Build fluency, clear pronunciation and answer structure
Do a timed LS mock test before your exam date
