The new Institutional Version of CELBAN™ is available to assist educational institutes in assessing the English language proficiency of internationally educated nurses.  It is a unique assessment tool which is based on language used in the Canadian nursing context.

How can the Institutional CELBAN™ be used?

• For entry or exit assessment in English for Nursing programs
• For an analysis of students’ strengths and weaknesses (Speaking and Writing)
• For practice for the official CELBAN™
• For providing CLB scores in all four skill areas (Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing)

Note: The Institutional CELBAN™ can be used by educational institutions to obtain non-official scores for educational purposes only. If candidates require official CELBAN™ scores, then they must register for an Official CELBAN™ at an official CELBAN™ Administration Site.

Institutional CELBAN™ is based on the same research methodology as the official CELBAN™. Results are reported as CLB levels.

Test duration: 2 ½ hours
