About this course
CELPIP is a computer-delivered English proficiency test that assesses practical English. The CELPIP-General test covers Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking in one test sitting, while CELPIP-General LS covers only Listening and Speaking.
This course concentrates on the four-skill CELPIP-General format: understanding everyday spoken and written information, writing an email and survey response, and completing eight speaking tasks. If your application needs a different CELPIP version, confirm that before you pay. AFA prepares you for the language test and does not provide immigration advice.
This is a live, instructor-led course. You use the learning portal for lessons, study material, and mock-test access alongside the live classes. AFA does not publish a fixed batch size, timetable, or trainer profile in the verified brief.
