2. Take an assessment

• Assessments are available at both our Brampton and Mississauga campuses from Monday to Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. all year round.
• A language assessment is not a pass-fail test, but simply determines which class would benefit you the most. 
• The assessment covers the four language skills—reading, writing, listening and conversation. During a typical assessment we would:
• show you a picture and ask you to describe it;
• ask you to listen to a recording of a 30-second conversation and ask you questions about it;
• have you read a very short story about a newcomer to Canada and ask you three questions about the story;
• Ask you to compare your own story as a newcomer to the story you read (to evaluate your writing ability.

Note:

• We do not have child-minding services for assessment clients.  Please make arrangements as the assessment can take up to 1.5 hours or more.
• Our assessment is for class placement purposes only. Results are not recognized as official Canadian Language Benchmark documentation.
