CELPIP (Canadian English Proficiency Index Program) assesses your ability to use English in everyday situations. It is not a test of business English or academic English, this test, accurately, and precisely assesses a test taker’s English speaking, listening and writing skills in every situation in many ways, such as communicating with co-workers and superiors in the workplace, interacting with friends and interpreting and responding to written materials. This is one of the best ways to prepare and use English as much as possible in your daily life. Stanberry Educity trains the students using the latest methodologies. Our trainers assist the students in solving questions and introduce useful ideas and theories to the students. We brainstorm the students on a variety of activities. At Stanberry, we expose the students to a variety of tasks to enhance their comprehensive abilities and skills.
Stanberry Educity offers sample questions and interactive skill-building programs to help the students improve their communication skills, be it listening, reading, speaking, or writing.
The Canadian English Proficiency Index Program (CELPIP) also a multi-purpose English test that allows test takers to demonstrate their ability to function in English. The CELPIP has two versions: the CELPIP-General Test that measures four skills areas—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—and the CELPIP-General LS Test that measures only listening and speaking proficiency.

*Unscored Items: The Listening and Reading Tests contain unscored items used for test development. These unscored items can be found anywhere within each test and will have the same format as the scored items. You will not be able to tell scored items from unscored items, so apply your best effort to the entire test.
Each component of the test (listening, reading, writing and speaking) will be given a CELPIP Level. Below is a chart of each CELPIP-General level and its corresponding description. Since the CELPIP-General Test scores have been calibrated against the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) levels, we have included the CLB level equivalencies for your information.
